Vedomosti.ru

In 2012 the Russian business daily newspaper Vedomosti.ru suffered a significant data exposure affecting its registered user base. The breach resulted in the public disclosure of sensitive information for approximately 217000 users. The leaked data included email addresses, phone numbers, full names, and professional specializations. This incident was part of a broader series of attacks targeting media outlets during that period to gain access to journalist and reader information for various purposes including social engineering and monitoring.
