The Ministry of Digital Development Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation suffered a significant data breach discovered on January 8 2025. The incident involved the unauthorized access and exfiltration of data concerning over 36000 employees. The leaked data set contains detailed tables separating user profiles and internal cooperation metrics. Hackers managed to obtain sensitive corporate credentials including hashed passwords and professional contact details which poses a major risk to the security of state electronic services and internal government communications infrastructure. The scale of the breach suggests a deep compromise of internal administrative databases used for managing government IT personnel and organizational structures.
