Hackers stole data of 800,000 prisoners
The hackers, said to be self-exiled Russians opposed to Putin as well as Ukrainians, told the US network that they stole the contact information (phone numbers and e-mails) of more than 800,000 prisoners – including those serving sentences at the notorious prison “ Polar Wolf” above the arctic circle, where Navalny breathed his last. As they said, they are sharing the information they stole “in the hope that someone will contact them and contribute to the understanding of what happened to Navalny.”
According to iefimerida, Navalny, Putin’s only viable political opponent, was serving a 19-year sentence in the penal colony when he died under still unexplained circumstances on February 16. The Kremlin has denied any involvement, but world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, have blamed Putin.
Russia and Ukraine have recruited hackers during the war. Last January Ukraine’s military counterintelligence agency said Russian hackers had gained access to security cameras in Kiev to identify targets for a major attack on the capital.
A few weeks later, the Ukrainian hacker group “Blackjack” claimed to have stolen construction plans for 500 Russian military installations.
