“The dark side of the Kremlin” in network merged Russian material in Ukraine
KIEV. 26 Jan. UNN. The group defenders of transparency Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) on Friday published a giant collection of hacked Russian merged documents, reports UNN with reference to The New York Times.
“Most of the material which sheds light on the Russian war in Ukraine, as well as on the connection between the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church, business oligarchs and much more, was published in Russia, Ukraine and other places, sometimes on obscure sites”, – writes the edition.
The volume of material – 175 gigabytes – many times the total amount of known materials that have been stolen from the National Committee of the Democratic party and the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton almost three years ago, the newspaper notes.
Core files from the collection entitled “Dark side of the Kremlin” included “hundreds of thousands of messages and files from Russian politicians, journalists, oligarchs, religious leaders and nationalists/terrorists in Ukraine”, – said the group that posted the content.
The documents include an extensive archive of materials stolen from the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia, which WikiLeaks has refused to publish in 2016.
Group also published a large collection of Russian e-mails and other materials received by the Russian hacker group Shaltai Boltai, documents of the Russian Agency Rosoboronexport and the materials associated with the falsification of history with the fall in Ukraine, passenger plane MH17 in 2014.
Website Distributed Denial of Secrets works approximately on the same model that was first developed by WikiLeaks, the newspaper writes – calls on hackers and whistleblowers to submit confidential documents for publication.
In DDoS has told that not so long ago, when the material is in Russia it was collected, but not published, someone tried to erase one of the servers group. So the group has speeded up the publication of materials for a few weeks and has retained copies of files in several places to prevent their destruction.
We will remind, WikiLeaks found a fake hacking instruments against Russian propaganda.
