Hackers create website to prank call Russian officials and waste their time

A group of international hackers are attempting to distract Russian officials from the war in Ukraine with joke calls.

The pranksters, behind a website called WasteRussianTime.today, have cleverly created an auto call system to use as a "weapon" to annoy Moscow's government workers, ultimately distracting them from the military campaign.

By visiting the page and clicking a button, the website will start ringing a list of leaked phone numbers belonging to the Russian government, military and intelligence.

A short clip of audio has been released by the hackers.
