Hackers broke into the judicial system in the occupied Crimea and stole more than 240 GB of data - sec

The Crimean Tatar Resource Center reports, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that in their message, the hackers called on Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine and stressed that Crimea is part of Ukraine.

From the screenshots published by the group, it follows that among the hacked resources could be the portal "Justices of the Peace of the Republic of Crimea", which operates in the Russian occupation system of justice on the peninsula. In recent months, representatives of the occupation authorities have been conducting procedures for the "re-election" of magistrates "judges" through the Russian-controlled "State Council of the Republic of Crimea". In particular, we are talking about "judges" in the Black Sea region, Yalta and other settlements, the KRC notes.

According to the center, corruption agreements and informal payments could arise around these procedures. In particular, some representatives of the occupation system of justice allegedly complained about the increase in the amounts demanded for assistance in "re-election".

Details

Human rights activists noted that the alleged Anonymous hack may be of interest not only from the point of view of cybersecurity, but also because of the possible access to the internal documentation of the occupation judicial system. If the published data are confirmed, they may contain information on the functioning of the illegally created by Russia judicial bodies in the territory of the occupied Crimea.

Context

The hacking group Anonymous is a decentralized international movement and community of hacktivists (hacker activists) that does not have a clear hierarchy, leaders, or permanent membership. The movement was born in 2003 on the anonymous web platform 4chan as an Internet subculture, but later grew into a global digital force that opposes state censorship, total control of the Internet and corruption. The visual symbol of the movement is the Guy Fawkes mask from the graphic novel and the film V for Vendetta.
