2022: Hacking and 700 GB Data Loss
In mid-April 2022, it became known about the leak of data from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. We are talking about an archive of 700 GB, which included 230 thousand emails from the Ministry of Culture, as well as 230 thousand letters from 2019 to 2022 from the administration of the city of Blagoveshchensk and 130 thousand letters dated 2016-2022 from the office of the governor of the Tver region.
According to Kommersant, the postal base of the Ministry of Culture and regional authorities appeared on the non-profit website Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets). The source of the publication on the cybersecurity market confirmed that the uploaded files contain postal correspondence of Russian departments.
The correspondent of the publication made sure that one of the archives contains letters from the Ministry of Culture, which contain data on salaries, layoffs, a discussion of defects in cultural heritage objects and internal correspondence of employees of the Rosgosexpertiza, controlled by the ministry. The leak was the result of an attack by the Anonymous hacker group, the Cybernews portal writes.
The Ministry of Culture told the publication that they really revealed a hacker attack on email. By mid-April 2022, work is underway to eliminate the consequences of hacking and strengthen the protection of the department's information bases.
Experts interviewed by Kommersant in the field of cybersecurity believe that hackers could take advantage of vulnerabilities in the mail server. Hacking as a result of exploiting vulnerability indicates neglect of the policy of eliminating vulnerabilities in government agencies, one of the sources of the publication said.
The letters could contain information about budgets, projects, conditions for the provision of services, tenders and tenders, suggests Ilya Tikhonov, head of compliance and audit of Softa. In his opinion, most likely, there is no information in the correspondence that is detrimental to the state.[1]
