Russian companies hit by leaks
A number of powerful Russian companies and agencies have become the victims of hack-and-leak operations as a result of the country’s invaasion. Hackers allegedly affiliated with Anonymous have claimed responsibility for many of these incidents. Some of the targets include:
Transneft, a major Russian energy company (and the biggest oil pipeline company in the world), was recently struck by hackers, who stole 79 gigabytes of emails, which they then proceeded to leak.
Roskomnadzor, one of Russia’s media regulation agencies (read: censorship office) recently suffered a data breach in which hackers claimed to have compromised and leaked some 360,000 internal files.
Thozis Corporation, a Russian investment firm, suffered a leak of some 5,000 emails.
Much of the leaked material has been curated by the journalist organization Distributed Denial of Secrets, which specializes in disclosure and distribution of materials culled from hacks. You can read about them at the DDoS website.
