Hacked Russian Documents: Dark Side of the Kremlin
January 26th, 2019Via: The Hill:
A group of transparency advocates released a massive number of hacked and leaked Russian documents on Friday in what is being viewed as retaliation against Russia’s sharing of hacked Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails to influence the 2016 presidential campaign.
The documents, totaling 175 gigabytes in data, were shared on DDoSecret website and on Internet Archive around the same time on Friday. The scope of the documents shared is far larger than the total known material Russian officials obtained from the DNC and then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The collection of material, called “The Dark Side of the Kremlin,” includes insider information such as “hundreds of thousands of messages and files from Russian politicians, journalists, oligarchs, religious figures, and nationalists/terrorists in Ukraine,” according to the group that posted the documents.
