Killmilk announces 'Black Skills' private military hacking company

Summary

Killnet founder Killmilk announced on Telegram the creation of 'Black Skills', described as a 'Private Military Hacking Company' modelled on Russian PMCs such as Wagner. According to Flashpoint, the planned structure included subgroups for payroll, public relations, pen testing, data collection, information operations and operations against priority targets, with applicants required to declare prior army or public-service experience. Flashpoint assessed the move as an attempt to make Killnet's capabilities easier to monetise and to position the collective as a cyber-mercenary option for the Russian state.
