Anonymous recently struck Russia again after another successful round of hacking the companies involved in the country's infrastructure.
According to the hacking collective's Twitter accounts, it recently leaked thousands of emails from a Russian mining firm that "refuses to leave the Russian economy." It also released gigabytes' worth of emails from a Russian construction company.
Anonymous also mentioned that it is working on a "huge data dump" that would "blow Russia away," per Security Affairs, and that the hacks will continue until the country stops its aggression.
Anonymous Latest Hack Details
Anonymous recently unveiled 140,000 emails from its latest target, a Russian mining firm called MashOil, which designs, manufactures, and maintains drilling, mining, and fracking equipment, according to Twitter user Emma Best. She also mentioned that the firm tested equipment with Gazprom and signed agreements with its subsidiaries.
Gazprom is a Russian-majority state-owned multinational energy corporation, per Reuters.
Best also mentioned that over 50 emails in the leak tackle the Russian mining firm's encounters with sanctions, including recent ones imposed on the country in response to its "special military operation" in Ukraine.
MashOil is the official representative of the FID Group in the Russian Federation, which unites Belarusian and Russian enterprises that design, manufacture, and supply equipment relating to hydrocarbon extraction.
The hacking collective also leaked around 2.4GB of emails from Russian construction company Rostproekt, which they published on the leak site DDoSecrets.
According to the International Business Times, the hacking collective made a new site to host their upcoming leaks and "future Anonymous leaks" as a way to celebrate the Rostproekt email leak, per Twitter user DepaixPorteur. The Russian construction firm's emails are also available on the new site.
Anonymous' Biggest Leak Details
The International Business Times' report also mentioned that the hacking collective's "huge data dump" that would "blow Russia away" is said to be available "within the next 1-2 weeks" at the latest. Anonymous added that the upload process is taking a while due to the leak being 1.22 terabytes in size.
Twitter user @DepaixPorteur indirectly confirmed the size of the leak, saying in his tweet that the leak involves a "HUGE data dump" and that the public should be ready.
"We have hundreds if not thousands of gigabytes of data to compile. This will be a few days, so don't hold your breath," @DepaixPorteur said. "But it will be worth the wait."
It is not yet clear if the leaks will be available on Anonymous' new site, but the group did say that it is for hosting its upcoming leaks. Thus, the biggest leak could be expected to be available there.
Anonymous' Attacks on Russia So Far
Anonymous has mostly focused on hacking the Russian government since the start of its conflict with Ukraine. Lately, it has hacked the country's Central Bank, leaking 35000 emails from the government office. It also hacked into the country's streaming services, showing on-the-ground footage of the devastation in Ukraine.
Security Affairs also added that Anonymous also hacked state-owned companies Rosatom and Transneft, which are the country's atomic energy and pipeline transport companies, respectively. The hacking collective also managed to hack into the country's telecommunication watchdog, Roskomnadzor.
