A file allegedly containing the passport data of more than 305,000 Russians who are subject to mobilization "in the first place" began to circulate in Ukrainian Telegram channels.
The reports claim that Anonymous hackers obtained this information by hacking the website of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The group itself did not report this leak.
of the message of the channel “War against fakes” appeared in the telegram channel of the department The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not directly comment on this information, but a repost . It says that the published database "is compiled from several open databases and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense."
In the profile telegram channel “Information Leaks” , it is stated that the fake file was most likely “blinded” from several previously merged databases of the Federal Bailiffs Service of the Russian Federation.
The same opinion is shared by the founder of the Conflict Intelligence Team Ruslan Leviev. “Anonymous has once again published a fake compiled from existing databases. As in all previous cases with them. There is hardly a federal list of 300,000 names. Rather, the order goes down to the regions, and there the military registration and enlistment offices raise their file on the spot, ” he writes on Twitter.
