Hackers claim 23TB data theft from Russian statistics agency, including war casualty figures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Hackers claim to have exfiltrated 23TB of data from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), including sensitive figures on Ukraine war casualties. While Rosstat acknowledged suffering cyberattacks between October 29-31, it denied the extent of the data leak. The stolen data, if genuine, could provide significant insights into Russian wartime losses, with some reports suggesting monthly casualties could be as high as 50,000. AI
