Hackivist group ‘Anonymous’ claimed Thursday its affiliate group Black Rabbit World (@Thblckrbbtworld) had leaked 35,000 files from Russia’s central bank.
The group exposed the stolen files — 28 GB of data — Friday evening, sharing two links to the file hosting service Mega NZ.
The folders contain Office and TXT files. Most documents are written in Cyrillic, some are in English.
As noted in the thread by a Twitter user, some of these files “list names and addresses of people that own banks or have any interest in these transactions,” including Russian citizens and foreigners with percentage of ownership.
Black Rabbit World’s current motto is “No passage to injustice; No passage to kill innocents; No passage to Putin and oligarchs.”
Since Anonymous declared a “cyber war” against Russia on Feb. 25 — just one day after Russia started invading Ukraine — cyberattacks have targeted the Kremlin, the Duma, the Ministry of Defence, RT and a variety of other Russian sites.
Black Rabbit World’s most recent targets included sites of the Russian nuclear industry and FTP servers used for communications between the Russian and the Hong Kong governments. The group also claims to have hacked security cameras in Crimea and several Russian cities, and published “training plans, contents, budgets and information of military unit employees.”
“While the Russian government is starving the Russian people, it rains money on its murderers,” the hacktivists twitted.
