The first assaults occurred on Aug. 11. Despite the fact that the gathering's Twitter profile recognizes the programmers as an Anonymous member in Poland, the decision of target promptly attracted suspicions to Russia.

Stepanova has professedly been sequestered from everything outside of Russia since approaching, which means the ADAMS framework may have been one of just a couple of techniques for finding her.
