After some time, RT.com was able to revert the headlines and made an announcement about the hack via Twitter. The reason RT.com became involved in this controversy is that their media reports were being heavily criticized for being allegedly bias and was funded entirely by Russia.

Meanwhile, the anonymous group 'Anonymous' announced 'Op Ukraine' in the support of its Ukrainian supporters. Recently the group also hacked almost 500 MB of secret Russian documents, and plans to release more documents via Twitter. The timing between the hack and announcement of 'Op Ukraine' was so close that one couldn't help but speculate, though the hacking group as not claimed any responsibility yet.
