1 TB of top Russian law firm info stolen by Anonymous

The notorious Anonymous hacker collective has hit Russia again by leaking nearly 1TB of data stolen from a leading Russian law company identified as Rustam Kurmaev and Partners (RKP Law).

Rustam Kurmaev and Partners work with the Russian government and other high-profile banking, media, oil, and industrial companies, including the Volkswagen Group Russia, Ikea, Toyota, Jones Lang LaSalle, Mechel PJSC, ChTPZ PJSC, Abbott Laboratories, Baker Hughes, ING Bank, Yamaha Motor, Caterpillar, Panasonic, Mars, Gilette, 2Ă—2 Channel, VimpelCom, Citibank, and Sberbank.

The news arrives just two days after the collective leaked hundreds of gigabytes of data from the servers of Russia’s largest media holdings with over 100 regional radio stations, Vyberi Radio.

It is worth noting that Anonymous declared a cyberwar against the pro-Russian hacker group Killnet after Russia invaded Ukrainian territories, referring it to “special military operation” to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine.

In the following tweet, the hackers, who go by the Twitter handle of @DepaixPorteur, stated that:

Last week, Anonymous launched a cyberwar on Belarus for the involvement in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
