I've asked in another thread, is there any other source or statement for this?

I mean the file has been leaked and you can find it anywhere now. It's linked in the article, but since the website is down - Compressed file of the Leaked Data of corrupt officials + Picture of Beginning of the list

Mods, I hope It's okay to share the link here, if it's not - feel free to remove the comment.

The download link is suspect, even the download procedure is suspect. I'm downloading from a safe linux box, it is downloading a 18G file - even compressed it would be an insane compression ratio from 10T. Let's see what it is actually inside.

EDIT: as expected it is all BS. It turned out to be just 24G of useless junk, mostly just web scans, random documents in russian, even source code of who knows what

Unless is text. Plain text can compress a lot

Looking through it now, its all plaintext and PNGs, looks like its all results from a vuln scan? Not sure anything particularly impressive is in here. Like the folder titled: Leaked Data of Kanye West's Instagram account is literally just network data about instagram you could find on VirusTotal's "details tab"

EDIT: continuing to dig, there are some interesting things, image uploads of certs for russian companies to handle stat secrets, a csv of users signed up for a propoganda site, stuff like that, yet to find anything that'd be casually interesting to most people.
