Notorious hacking group Anonymous unleashes huge cyberattack on Russia
![]() 800 Thursday, 17 April, 2025, 23:15 Hacking group Anonymous says it has pulled off a massive cyberattack on Russia, releasing 10 terabytes of leaked data online. The international activist group previously warned internet users this year about the actions of President Donald Trump and his ties with Vladimir Putin, and are known for their 'hacktivism' against certain governments and corporations. They tend to target those who they view as corrupt, oppressive, or dangerous, and as you can guess by their name, they stay anonymous. As there is no defined leader, it is hard to anticipate that they'll do next, as the group continues to raise awareness of wider issues in the world. The leaked data in question was released on 15 April 2025, and it includes sensitive information about the country's political landscape, with information on local businesses also a part of the leaks. Data on pro-Russian officials and Kremlin assets overseas were also a part of the preciously confidential information. On top of all of this, alleged information on US President Donald Trump was also made public. The official X account for Anonymous announced the cyber attack on the social media platform, writing: "In defense of Ukraine Anonymous has released 10TB of leaked data on all businesses operating in Russia, all Kremlin assets in the West, pro-Russian officials, Donald Trump, and more." The unprecedented move has spilled the beans on a number of private topics, such as details on Russian businesses, their financial activities and their affiliations.
