2022 Roskomnadzor leak

On March 10, 2022, the hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility for the theft and publication of 820 GB[1] worth of documents from Roskomnadzor.[2][3] It is being released by Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets).[3][4][5]

DDoSecrets writes about the leak:

This dataset was released in the buildup to, in the midst of, or in the aftermath of a cyberwar or hybrid war. Therefore, there is an increased chance of malware, ulterior motives and altered or implanted data, or false flags/fake personas. As a result, we encourage readers, researchers and journalists to take additional care with the data.[5]

The leak revealed a new online surveillance system tracking anti-war sentiment and other "threats" to Russian stability and the Putin regime.[6]
