Anonymous Claims Massive Cyberattack on Russia, Leaks 10TB of Data

On April 16, 2025, the hacktivist collective Anonymous claimed responsibility for a significant cyberattack on Russian government infrastructure. The group stated that it has exfiltrated approximately 10 terabytes of sensitive data from various Russian state agencies.

This operation is a continuation of Anonymous's cyber campaign against Russia, which began in response to geopolitical tensions and conflicts involving the Russian government.

Details of the Data Leak

According to statements attributed to Anonymous on social media platforms, the leaked data encompasses internal communications, classified documents, and other confidential materials from multiple Russian government departments.

As the group explained, they plan to share the data part by part. Their goal is to show things they believe are unfair or go against international rules.

Russian Authorities Yet to Respond

As of now, there has been no official response from Russian authorities regarding the alleged cyberattack and data breach. The lack of confirmation or denial leaves the claims unverified, and the authenticity of the purported data leak remains uncertain.

Cybersecurity experts say people should be careful and not jump to conclusions unless there is clear proof or an official confirmation.

Cybersecurity and International Relations

If what Anonymous claims turns out to be true, this could be one of the biggest cyberattacks carried out in recent history.

It shows how powerful hacker groups have become and raises serious questions about how safe government systems really are. Attacks like this could also create more tension between countries and make international relations harder.
