GoKawiilHacker groups claim 23TB breach of Russian statistics agency Rosstat
Rosstat confirmed its servers suffered coordinated cyberattacks between October 29-31 but denied claims of a large-scale data leak. Hacking groups CyberPartisans and Silent Crow say they stole 23TB of data, including restricted wartime casualty figures, and published a chart suggesting up to 50,000 Russian soldier deaths per month.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
If the leaked casualty data proves accurate, it could give Ukraine and its allies rare independent insight into Russian military losses, which Moscow has kept hidden since halting public mortality reporting in 2024. The hacking groups' claims remain unverified by independent parties, and Rosstat's denial means the scale and authenticity of the stolen data are still disputed.
- Rosstat acknowledges a cyberattack but disputes the scale of data theft claimed by hackers
- Hackers allege stolen files include restricted Russian military casualty statistics
- Groups say they plan to release further data extracted from the breach
