The hacker group began posting screenshots of the data, likely procured from the breached database. They publicly revealed addresses and register numbers of facilities belonging to Russia’s FSB and military units in Moscow. Part of the database was also published online.
The group, identified as "sudo RM-RF," has taken credit for the cyber-attack. Previously, they had infiltrated the website of the Russian Skolkovo Foundation and made the acquired materials public. Skolkovo was commissioned by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council.
