A message about a hack appeared on the Alabuga website

On June 27, a message about a hack appeared on the website of the special economic zone “Alabuga”, located in Tatarstan. This is evidenced by one of the archival copies of the site, which was noticed by The Insider.

The message said that the underground organization “Black Spark” “infiltrated the UAV production.” “We worked within the system for several months. During this time, we unloaded the database of all employees, their relatives, places of residence, supply chains, etc.,” the message said.

A similar message was published in the “Black Spark” telegram channel. “During assembly, we loaded the latest batches of UAVs with surprises from the Black Spark. When you try to launch these drones, they will explode,” the message states.

The publication called the hacking of the Alabuga website “a response to the involvement of 15-year-old children in assembling killer drones.”

It is impossible to independently confirm these claims.

After the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, in the special economic zone “Alabuga” in Tatarstan, the production of Iranian attack drones “Shahed” was organized, adopted in Russia under the name “Geran-2”. Students from the Alabuga Polytech College are involved in assembling drones.
