The hacker groups Silent Crow and "Belarusian Cyber-Partisans" attacked the servers of the Russian airline "Aeroflot", as a result of which they copied and destroyed their databases, including the personal data of all passengers. Silent Crow reported this on Telegram, writes UNN.
We announce the successful completion of a long and large-scale operation, as a result of which the internal IT infrastructure of "Aeroflot - Russian Airlines" has been completely compromised and destroyed... The personal data of all Russians who have ever flown with "Aeroflot" have now also gone on a journey - albeit without luggage and one-way
The hackers claim that they managed to obtain and download the full array of flight history databases, compromise all critical corporate systems, gain control over employees' personal computers, including top management, as well as copy data from listening servers, including audio recordings of phone conversations and intercepted communications, and extract data from surveillance and personnel control systems.
Volume of information obtained: 12TB of databases, 8TB of files from Windows Share, 2TB of corporate mail. All these resources are now unavailable or destroyed, and significant funds will be required for recovery.
Our operation is a direct message... for all employees of the repressive apparatus: your digital security is worthless, and you yourselves have long been under surveillance. The publication of part of the obtained data will begin in the near future. We did not just destroy the infrastructure - we left a trace. Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus
