We struck the computer network of Khimvolokno, the largest supplier of nylon yarn in Russia — the material used to make the lining for helmets and body armor for the Russian army. 👊💥 Cyberattack on Khimvolokno — Details We targeted Khimvolokno as part of our campaign against the Lukashenko regime. The plant routinely circumvents EU sanctions and supplies technical polyamide yarn to Russia , where manufacturers use it to produce military-grade fabrics, including body armor and combat helmets. Several former employees of Khimvolokno and its parent company, Grodno Azot, are currently political prisoners under the Lukashenko regime. We launched the operation on February 24, the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The cyberoperation lasted about 24 hours. During that time, we moved freely through the company’s network and gained full domain administrator privileges. Domain controller of the Khimvolokno corporate network On the night of February 25–26, we breached the most secure segment of the IT infrastructure — the data center. We destroyed all eight physical servers, along with dozens of critical virtual machines running on them. Khimvolokno data center — security camera footage We disabled domain controllers, servers, virtual machines, and workstations. Some devices now carry “cyber time bombs.” In total, we gained access to roughly 1,000 machines, including servers involved in core production processes. Khimvolokno’s employees can now prepare for forced leave. Office operations, accounting, marketing and sales, shipping, as well as technical and administrative processes have all been disrupted. Extracting marketing and sanctions-evasion supply data from Khimvolokno’s network We took down ERP systems and databases, corporate email, the Directum document management system, backup systems, and more. Recovery will take weeks, and some data is gone for good. Permanent deletion of large-scale data storage systems We also compromised the security and video surveillance systems, which allowed us to monitor Khimvolokno’s operations in real time. We watched employees pull servers out and attempt to “resuscitate” them. Khimvolokno employees attempt to “resuscitate” the data center — security camera footage We are publishing excerpts from the facility’s security cameras, including footage from production areas, offices, corridors, and entry checkpoints. Surveillance footage shows that Khimvolokno’s warehouses are severely overstocked — typically a sign of serious sales problems. Security camera footage from the Khimvolokno facility Security camera footage from the Khimvolokno facility The Lukashenko regime has halted the release of political prisoners and continues to support Putin’s war. If it wants to avoid further cyber sanctions, it must resume releasing hostages and stop aiding the Russian war machine.

When security services or law enforcement officers see a passcode prompt on the Telegram login screen, they often suspect that the app is P-Telegram. To reduce suspicion, we introduced a passwordless mode. How it works 1️⃣ Enable the feature: Passcode Lock Menu → Choose the Fake Passcode → Passwordless Mode. 2️⃣ Enter your Fake Passcode when opening Telegram. 3️⃣ The app applies all Fake Passcode settings and will NO longer display the passcode screen on startup. 4️⃣ To restore the original setup, type your Real Passcode into the search bar and tap the back arrow. Who may find this useful Anyone who hides channels, chats, or accounts and wants to avoid drawing attention during an inspection. You can keep P-Telegram in decoy mode at all times and enter your real passcode only when you want to access political chats or channels. 🎥 Watch the video attached to the post for detailed instructions.

I ‘helped’ them by entering with the fake passcode and showed them through ([during which] dialogues, channels, etc. were all removed [automatically by PTG behind the scenes]). I guess they did not understand or did not show that they noticed that this was a PTG. They simply tried to get through the two-factor authentication. I was saved by your app. I hid the Ukrainian chats, and those chats in which I sent positions of the occupiers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They [Russians] grabbed me on the street and first beat me and then checked my phone. They asked me what the Telegram code was, I gave them the fake passcode. And then they stopped beating me. And after a few minutes they let me go. I think if I'd turned on that new thing where the app goes into a mode where it's like there's no code, maybe I wouldn't have been beaten at all. FAQ The app does not install. What should I do? The most common cause is a conflict with an existing Telegram installation. PTelegram conflicts with whichever Telegram version it mimics. So if installation fails, first try installing an APK with a different disguise mode. For example, if PTelegram_GooglePlay.apk (https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-Telegram-Android/releases/latest/download/PTelegram_GooglePlay.apk)fails (disguised as the Google Play version), try installing PTelegram.apk (https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-Telegram-Android/releases/latest/download/PTelegram.apk)(disguised as the website version). See the documentation here (https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-Telegram-Android/wiki/Q&A-english#what-is-the-difference-between-ptelegram-builds-with-different-disguise-modes)for more details about the differences between versions. If none of the APK files install, remove the official Telegram client and try installing PTelegram again. If you use a "second space" or an app that clones or hides Telegram (such as Knox Secure Folder), remove the original Telegram there as well. On some devices, you may need to delete the app that creates the “second space” entirely to install Partisan Telegram. You do not need to uninstall third-party Telegram clients such as Telegram X, BGram, or Telegraph. Additional steps that also may help: • save the APK file to the Downloads folder and install it from there; • make sure your phone has enough free storage; • disable Google Play and clear its data. If installation still fails, contact Cyber Partisans support: https://t.me/partisan_telegram_bot(https://t.me/partisan_telegram_bot) Why does the app display user IDs? How can I hide this information? User IDs are not confidential information. While the mobile Telegram app hides them by default, the official desktop client allows to display them. This information is sometimes necessary for administrators of bots and channels. When you unlock PTelegram with a fake passcode, the app hides user IDs automatically and looks like the original Telegram. You can also disable user IDs manually in the Partisan settings.(http://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-Telegram-Android/wiki/Functionality#Partisan-Settings) I am afraid of my phone is searched and because of the presence of a passcode for Telegram, they will be able to figure out that I use the Partisan Telegram. What should I do in this situation? In this case, we recommend using the password-free mode in Partisan Telegram. If this option is enabled, the messenger will default to ‘false password entered’ mode, meaning that all subscriptions, chats, and other information that should not be seen by outsiders when accessing your account will be hidden. To display hidden information, you need to enter the real password in the search bar. We provide more details about the password-free mode of Partisan Telegram here.(https://www.by.cpartisans.org/en/post/p-telegram-without-passcode-lock) Password-free mode helps to reduce suspicion, but does not mask the application 100%. If the phone is taken for forensic analysis, the installed P-Telegram will be detected. I’m trying to log in, but I don’t receive the SMS code. What should I do? Partisan Telegram does not send login codes via SMS. Therefore, you must first log in to the official Telegram application and enter the code that will be sent via SMS message. Then sign in to the same account using Partisan Telegram. The login code will arrive as a message inside the official Telegram app. If the code does not arrive in the official app, wait 24 hours. After that, Telegram will start sending codes. I can’t take screenshots in PTelegram. How do I enable this option? By default, PTelegram blocks screenshots. To allow them, go to: Settings → Privacy and Security → Passcode Lock Enter your real passcode and enable “App Content in Task Switcher" option. If it possible to restore chats/accounts if I accidentally entered the wrong password and deleted everything? Unfortunately, this is not possible. We prioritize safety over recoverability in this case. I can't change the phone number for my account in Partisan Telegram. What should I do? You have to change your phone number using the original Telegram app.
