Hacktivist group Anonymous says it’s behind one of the biggest cyberattacks in recent memory—claiming to have leaked over 100 terabytes of internal Russian data.
In a statement dropped on social media, the group said the data includes files from top-level Russian ministries, corporations, and key internal systems. They called it “one of the largest data leaks in Russia’s history,” and warned that more is coming.
“This is just the beginning. Expect us,” the message read—delivered in Anonymous’ trademark style, complete with a distorted voice and Guy Fawkes mask visuals.
The data reportedly includes sensitive information from:
- The Russian Ministry of Defence
- Gazprom (Russia’s biggest energy company)
- Government emails and internal documents
- Financial records and security protocols
While TRNDR can’t independently verify the full scope of the leak yet, cybersecurity experts online are already picking through the files. Early signs point to the dump being legit—with a mix of raw email chains, spreadsheets, server logs, and internal databases already surfacing on encrypted forums.
Anonymous has been involved in multiple high-profile cyber ops over the past few years—targeting institutions linked to government overreach, war crimes, and internet censorship. Their message this time? “Digital warfare is still warfare.”
So far, Russian officials have not issued a public statement on the alleged breach.
Stay tuned. 👀
