Epic file

On Sunday, the second and last day of the primaries of the Demoralization, a link to a file with personal data voted was published on the Parnas website. It is reported by "iodine".

The document, the link to which appeared in the afternoon, contained the names, patronymics and surnames of voters, their date of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, as well as passwords from accounts on the "Wave of Changes" website - electronic voting platforms. The email address and this password allow you to enter the account of a particular voter and see how he voted.

Shortly before 13:30, the document from the file host was deleted. The press service of Parnassus made a message in which it explained the information leakage "unauthorized access to the database." It was reported that the vote on the primaries is suspended, and the causes of the incident are investigated. "We recommend urgently to change the password in your mail and accounts in social networks," the press service also stated.

“Yoda” in the party refused to comment on what happened. The interlocutors of the publication explained that they represent the security service, and advised on Monday to contact "officials."

Alexei Navalny, the leader of the Party of Progress, who left the demo A month ago, said on his Twitter in connection with the incident: "Executive leaders Parnassus must resign after this. Shame and discrediting and wrecking."

Meanwhile, the Prochrevsky blogger, the leading Twitter "Order and Babai", managed to download the list and, analyzing it, noticed that at least 12 people voted using the same Rizhik2016 account, and on the Internet came out of one of the two IP addresses. At the same time, Roman Golovanov, an employee of Komsomolskaya Pravda, accused the organizers of the primaries of creating technical capabilities to use bots during the vote.

After lunch on Sunday, Deputy Republic of Parnas, Konstantin Merzlikin, told Interfax that the establishment of the causes of the leak would take a few more hours, but now it is possible to exclude the version of the technical error of the organizers. Speech, noted the functionary, it is necessary to lead about the hacking, undertaken for the publication of information about voters and discrediting the primaries themselves.

The vote, which on Sunday was supposed to take up to 21 hours, was decided not to resume in order to avoid further leaks, Merzlikin added. “If access occurred with the participation of a provider, then you can forget about any online voting procedures at all,” he added.

“In the evening,” the deputy chairman of Parnas also said, “the Central Electoral Electoral Commission will gather to discuss the results and whether to recognize whether the primaries at the moment when hacking occurred or not.”

The primaries of the Demoralization was originally supposed to be held on April 23-24. However, then they were postponed more than a month due to the failure of the election campaign. It was reported that the coalition hoped to attract about 100 thousand voters to primaries, but as of April 11, only 8 thousand registered to participate in preliminary voting.

Meanwhile, a link to the personal data of voters was accompanied by a message that, as of 12 days on May 29, only 6378 people voted on the primaries.
