Hackers hacked Rosregistry and stole the data of millions of Russians

Late in the evening on January 6, it became known that hackers had hacked and downloaded the Rosregistry databases, which contain information about every citizen of the Russian Federation. The hacker group Silent Crow is behind it. They announced this in their Telegram channel, reports UNN.

Details

Hackers noted that rosregistr (federal service of state registration, cadastre and cartography) is a critical resource in terms of real estate registration, cadastre management and cartographic activities.

They merged into the network a small part, approximately 90 million lines from the single state register of real estate objects. The total amount of downloaded information is about 2 billion lines.

The database, which is now online, contains the full names of Russians, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, passport data and other personal information.

According to hackers, rosregistry became a vivid example of how large state structures can collapse in a matter of days.

As a result, their data, seemingly securely protected, ended up in our collection. If previously Rosregistr was associated with bureaucratic chaos, now the name of this structure has become a symbol of digital transparency – but not in the sense in which Russians expected it

According to them, having hacked the Russian registry, they “congratulated Russians with the beginning of the New Year.” In addition, Silent Crow announced the next “Christmas gift”.

In the meantime, the Rosregister refused to confirm the leak of data from the Unified State Register of Real Estate Objects (USRE).

“Additional checks of the information published in a number of Telegram channels are currently underway,” they said.

We will remind

The cyber experts of GUR MOU conducted a successful DDOS attack on Russian oil companies from December 30 to January 1. As a result of the attack, payment systems at gas stations and Evotor smart terminals were disrupted.
