Fermer.ru

In August 2024 the Russian agricultural portal Fermer.ru was targeted by a major data scraping operation. The incident involved automated parsing of public and semi-public user profiles which resulted in the collection of sensitive contact information. The data set contains records for approximately 27000 users. This incident highlights the risks associated with automated data harvesting tools that can bypass standard site protections to aggregate user contact details for potential spam or phishing campaigns.
