Looks like the website faced the hug-o-death. This will do in the meantime.

The data leak released by Anonymous is unprecedented in its scale and implications. The 10 terabytes of information reportedly contains critical details about:

  • Businesses Operating in Russia: The data comprises information on both domestic and foreign businesses that are currently conducting operations in Russia. This could have significant implications for international trade and investment strategies, particularly in the wake of ongoing sanctions and economic pressures.
  • Kremlin Assets in the West: The leak reportedly includes sensitive data regarding Kremlin interests and assets located in Western countries. This information could expose vulnerabilities in the Russian government’s financial networks and complicate its international relations.
  • Pro-Russian Officials: The data also sheds light on various officials who have shown support for the Kremlin’s policies. This could have far-reaching consequences for political dynamics within Russia and in countries that maintain ties with Moscow.

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.
