Hackers Expose Massive Russian Plot To Infiltrate Internet

Description

On July 13, hackers targeted a Moscow information technology company, "Sitek," or SyTech. According to Business Insider, the hackers stole 7.5 terabytes of data from a major contractor of Russia's Federal Security Service. They defaced the company's homepage with a " Yoba Face." That's Russian internet slang denoting trolling. The hackers leaked details of several secret Russian internet projects. Such projects included Federal Security Service attempts to de-anonymize Tor browsing and scrape social media sites. The hackers also revealed the government's plan to split the Russian internet off from the rest of the world. It's the largest data leak in the history of the work of Russian special services on the Internet. BBC Russia
