Anonymous unleashes massive data leak targeting Russia and Trump
The hacking group Anonymous has conducted a cyberattack on Russia, revealing 10 terabytes of data. These files are said to contain information from various sectors, including assets related to the Kremlin.
Anonymous announced that they carried out a cyberattack on Russia, unveiling 10 terabytes of data online. As reported by yahoo!news, the group had previously issued warnings about President Donald Trump and his alleged ties with Vladimir Putin. Anonymous is recognized for its actions against governments and corporations they consider corrupt or dangerous.
The data, leaked on April 15, 2025, contains sensitive information about the Russian political scene and local businesses. It includes details about pro-Russian officials and Kremlin assets abroad. Additionally, alleged information concerning US President Donald Trump was released.
Anonymous announced the attack on their account on platform X, writing: "In defense of Ukraine Anonymous has released 10TB of leaked data on all businesses operating in Russia, all Kremlin assets in the West, pro-Russian officials, Donald Trump, and more."
The move by Anonymous exposed many private matters, including details about Russian companies, their financial activities, and connections. These actions are occurring during the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and may significantly impact the course of the war.
Anonymous's actions have caused panic among Russians and highlighted surveillance issues. The hacking group announced that they possess more unpublished information, which could reveal details about Russian espionage practices.
This attack by Anonymous is not the first in recent years. Previously, Anonymous hacked Russian radio stations, broadcasting warnings about air raids and missile attacks. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations considered this a provocation, but Anonymous claimed responsibility for the attack.
