Russia's statistics agency hit by a multi-day cyberattack; Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Silent Crow claim 23 TB, Rosstat denies any leak

Rosstat acknowledged that its main and regional websites came under a coordinated, carefully planned attack from many locations between 29 October and 1 November, with the main site down on Saturday. The Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Silent Crow claim to have taken 23 TB including wartime losses, demographic and economic statistics and restricted documents, and defaced pages read “No one will escape accountability.” Rosstat says monitoring caught the attack early and that no databases or legally protected information leaked, so the theft claim remains self-reported for now.
