A Russian war supporter planned to buy drones to support the Russian government.
A worker places the Russian flag outside Tiananmen Gate ahead of the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 14, 2004. Putin will meet with his counterpart Hu Jintao later, with talks on oil expected to be high on the agenda.
But, thanks to the efforts of the Ukrainian hacking group Cyber Resistance, the man's plan wasn't successful.
Mikhail Luchin is a 34-year-old Russian military volunteer who greatly supports the war activities of Russia.
Luchin raised enormous sums to aid the Russian military in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. This is why the Cyber Resistance Group decided to hack his AliExpress account.

To prevent him from purchasing drones, which he plans to send to the Russian military, the Cyber Resistance used the money to buy adult toys.
"Now, instead of drones, he will have to send trucks full of vibrators, strapons, and other very valuable things for the Russian people," said the hacking organization.
They confirmed their successful hacking operation via their official Telegram channel on Monday, April 3.
Who is Mikhail Luchin?
The Cyber Resistance Group described Mikhail Luchin as a "war criminal." He was also a close friend of a Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky (aka Maxim Fomin), a pro-Putin military blogger.
Tatarsky was killed in an explosion on Sunday, April 2. Despite what happened to his friend, Luchin supported the Russian government.
He is already aware of the security breach made by the Ukrainian hacking group. Although his money was used to buy adult toys, he is still optimistic.
Luchin even said he would open an "s*x shop" in Russian and make a 300% profit. Once he raises enough money, he will purchase more drones, 3x higher than his original plan.
