Anonymous Releases 10TB of Leaked Data: Exposing Kremlin Assets & Russian Businesses

After the Panama Papers and similar leaks, people are ready to believe some kind of anonymous hacker collective is still out there investigating and releasing information. So they'll jump on the headline, because it resonates with their memories of historical incidents. They won't interrogate it, because they're not in the position to sift fact from fiction.

This is one of the problems with Upvote-based news aggregators to begin with. You're asking people to make evaluations of an article's interest at the headline level, rather than relying on editors and ombudsmen to sift out what information is both credible and interesting to a wide audience.

The screenshot of files looks like an troll. I can't believe nobody is pointing this out.

I mean really. Who even names folders like that.

* car bomb explodes *

Not yet, will when I get home

Did you check under Krasnov?

It's not a pee tape they have on Kasnov, it's a tape if him getting pegged.

Only the 18gb file so far. Only had 7tb of space free on my nas :( right now

That's just the output of a nikto scan run on a web server (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/services/nikto)

It says there are some index files, but you say they're missing. Did you see the alleged 10TB dump or just the 18GB Mediafire one? If there are index files, there are probably more files.

Someone ran a command in the terminal, screenshot the results, and put them there



thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"

necktie*

Klaatu barada nikto

This isn't the full 10tb, only the 18gb file

Lmao, it's a bunch of nikto outputs. this entire file isn't really a hack.

Don't know, just saw the screenshots of text, looked like CMD. Maybe other folders have stuff, I haven't had time to look yet



thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"

Looks like nikto

Nuclei output or something?

CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities

Is Trump a robot or something? What does this even mean?

Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all



thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"

Need to look under "K"

i think oem custom sata commands, but not sure. what I know is that e.g. seagate releases firmware updates to some of their drives

https://www.seagate.com/support/kb/firmware-updates-for-seagate-products-207931en/

last I checked it was done by a program running on windows

I remember hearing about that, but I never got around to really looking into it. Can hard drive firmware be infected by data on the disc and/or commands sent over SATA, or is it the kind of attack you need to attach test probes to the controller board or desolder the ROM chip to execute?

I'm curious what you're referencing. I suppose it could infect the drives controlling chips, but a decent drive should be fine. And if you scramble all the bits I don't see how there could be malware left

Holy cow this might be just the thing!!!

Thanks :D

Hp t620. Best price with a power supply right now is around $30, but recent solds are in the low $20. You can also get an hp g5 sff desktop with a ryzen cpu for around $65.

I have a few t620s, one with octoprint, and one in the garage for looking up whatever. I think I have lubuntu on it, but I can't remember. There's different variants, there's a dual core and a quad core and a bigger one with a pcie slot. They originally shipped with some lightweight version of win 10.

lol put Linux on old $20 machine that used to only be intended to be used as a viewer?

That’s awesome

well keep in mind that theoretically hdd firmware can hold malware if they get infected

Old thin clients are good for this. Cost can be as low as $20. With a quad core processor. Maybe not the fastest thing, but can still run linux.

That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.

Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn’t do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again

The man running the law firm that managed the fraud never saw a trial, much less a conviction.

Your article of "Um, actually!"s doesn't change that.

Because that's not what I said at all?

Of course there are far too many frustrating cases than we wish for but still

"Joking about NOTHING has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night."

Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn't do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again, focus on what has been done, and pay some respect to the people fighting for you this time?

Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.

To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required *decades* to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting

Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?

Yeah can't make sense of your last comment, or maybe you misunderstood something?

I'm saying the impact of Panama paper surely wasn't instant-world-changing that you might wish for, the world simply doesn't work that way. Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.

From your links:

Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

Original indictment:

These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

**Make it make sense**

"Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

Yes, journalist Daphne Galizia was murdered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia#Panama_Papers

I see what you did there.. 😂

Cars that aren't suicidal with a desire to take others with them.

I am so fucking tired...

Just switch to Linux already!

Windows will be turned into exits

I mean, that's sort of a gimmie with swasticars.

I'm certain some people will go to jail.

You can't just release information about politicians and billionaires and not go to jail.

well, cars might explode.

I think they were able to recoup a few billion in taxes or something, but like, no arrests or anything. I think one person got killed exposing it too.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/panama-papers-taxes-recovered-1.7501312

Technically only half true. They know, but they're not doing fuck all about it, they're murdering the journalists that expose the rampant corruption.

I mean world governments are run by and for billionaires. People gotta pitchfork if they want something done about it.

Can people just stop spreading this demoralizing nonsense? Maybe it's not instant-world-changing, but it's definitely not "fuck all" either.

Its fake

Everybody already knew Russia was hot assfire.

I downloaded it, but am at work now. Nothing in Trump folder 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all



thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"

That's a lot of index files

Krasnov of Mar-a-Lago

It may be trump in it but it says krasnov on it.

Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all



thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"

Good

So it seems. The Russian business receipts may be more useful, but I’m not really sure how this data can be used.

Just that it got down and all its data (emails, users, passwords) got leaked.

I guess they implied 4chan users, without 4chan, decided to pass the time by hacking Russia

Data hoarders defunitely would. Trust me, I've got one 14TB HDD just for movies, another 8TB that I now use mostly just for backups, and that gets me probably on the lowest steps of the ladder of people who regularly collect data.

Also easy to use some Debrid service that would download and store it on the cloud, where you could inspect the files without it all cramming up your local disk space.

Does anyone have 10TB space to even download all of it? My all drives combined wouldn't get me there.

I’m not sure. I’ve been wondering the same thing.

This, a thousand times! I've been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven't found one yet

Happens to the best of us lol

Whelp, thats a _whoosh_ moment for me than lol.

But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P

My joke was implying that they had nothing better to do than infiltrate confidential Russian servers since 4chan was down. Lol

Danone is an interesting one. They’re the second largest consumer water supplier in the world.

It's an older meme, but it checks out

Yep, I was 12-13 when I discovered b

they were older then me at the time.

The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).

It's funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn't come across as a "child" as they were older then me at the time.

Dark humor be like that though.

“An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.

Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.

Us Scots can say our aitches - always annoys me to hear "an hospital" on the BBC.

Faaking Laanduners - that's who'll be saying "an hero".

A Nero

An gyro

Probably too old a reference for most lol

An earo

only if you're scottish

Anonymous are the heroes. Thanks for posting the article!

What *an hero.

What a hero

To clarify:

Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this ... derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s...

They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.

4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed... and then they started their own community 'Soyjack Party'.

Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.

Like... I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts... well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.

I can't prove this, because ... two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for ... less than 24hrs... but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.

For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.

Dominos pizza! I knew I tasted something fishy

Where is the full leak? 18GB is nothing compared to 10TB

I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?

Their "vulnerabilities" are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)

Wait what does 4chan have to do with this?

Dilmah!?

pls no...

I knew it

smdh this is why I only accept Xi bucks

Damn, sounds like not much actually going on then. 18gb is manageable though, I'll have a look. Thanks!

Its only 18GB compressed, nothing in Trump folder. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all

Links directly to mediafire are posted above

Nice pick too ;)

I would have gone for some Baby Lasagna instead.

I certainly hope not

**ABRUPT_RECORD_SCRATCH.wav**

That took a turn

Lemmy's finger up the butt

Lemmy's careless whisper.

Lemmy's gentle breeze.

Lemmy's insignificant caress.

Surely this means Lemmy has finally reached critical mass and we're slashdotting other sites now. /s

Lemmy hug of death?

Same.

Trump had a folder on the picture of folders.

I don't know any more than that.

This is going to be another Panama files isn't it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.

!data leak

Mediafire link to 18GB of the data: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file

4chan should go down more often lol

There are going to be a lot of upset, worried, wealthy people in London today.

Found this on hacker news, some people there say this data dump is total bs and for the news page itself:

It's an article from an Indian right wing conspiracy news website. Check out their other hard hitting journalism: <https://archive.ph/8RGAb>"

Wonder what's in the trump folder

There is nothing under the trump folder except 2 pics of possible vulnerabilities from a CMD prompt. Maybe some stuff in other data, but the trump folder is bust

I give Anonymous credit on one thing: they're always punching upwards.

Is Agent Krasnov on the list?

Someone please look into the Trump folder and tell us what is there

Site is not loading on my side

There's a twitter thread. An account named 'Anonymous France' has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that's its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.

I'd download this but I'm worried it could also contain some form of advanced spyware, and my "security computer" needs a new screen cable at the moment.

oh damn I've been doxxed

they should release magnets of chunks of the data

And nothing happened.

Site doesn't load for me and I can't find any other sources yet. Interesting to see what comes out of this, but I won't be downloading 10tb myself to find out, tempting as it may be

Has anyone actually opened said data yet?

How is this obvious AI slop getting upvoted so much?

I see a lot of screenshots, but is there any useful/damning information in the leaks?

Russian glaziers rubbing their hands together right now

Fake as hell, from an immensely disreputable site.

What in the hell is this still doing here?

Where can I find these files? Not doing x

Day late and dollar short. That info serves no purpose in today's environment

Site is getting rammed and won't load for me. I guess if there's anything substantial I'll hear about it soon enough.

That's a good load of data for some training of a "truth² AI"

Hell yeah dude
