A large amount of data supposedly belonging to the Bank of Russia was allegedly disclosed by Anonymous, a hacker outfit. The news comes after the group claimed earlier this week that it had hacked Russia’s central bank, a claim that Moscow’s monetary officials denied.


The transnational hacktivist collective known as @Thblckrbbtworld (The Black Rabbit World) has revealed the leak of 28GB of data taken from the Russian Central Bank (CBR).

Meanwhile, another Twitter account linked to the hackers, @YourAnonTV (Anonymous TV), corroborated the story.

What Anonymous Said

Anonymous said last week that it had hacked the CBR and promised to disclose more than 35,000 files in 48 hours. They include some of the regulator’s “secret agreements,” among other things “. The Bank of Russia, on the other hand, said that none of its information systems had been hacked.

The new action by Anonymous comes after the organization launched a cyberwar on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The gang threatened to take down the Kremlin, State Duma, and Defense Ministry websites, as well as state-run television networks including Russia Today (RT) and some streaming platforms, with the goal of disrupting Russia’s internet.

According to The Black Rabbit World’s tweet, the CBR’s documents have been sent to numerous internet places, and if the ones it gave are censored, it will share them through multiple links.

According to some sources, the stolen files also contain hundreds of audit reports and information on bank owners.

Russian Central Bank’s Responsibility 

The Russian central bank is responsible for defending and protecting the Russian currency, which has lost value as a result of the country’s severe international sanctions. At the start of this month, the Russian rouble had plummeted by up to 30%, with inflation approaching 20%.

The breach comes as speculation regarding central bank president Elvira Nabiullina’s future has intensified in recent days. She was reportedly spotted looking depressed during a Kremlin meeting and then broadcast a mysterious video in which she conceded the Russian economy was in “extreme” shape and claimed, “We all wish this had not happened.”

In addition to their military confrontation on the ground, Russia and Ukraine have clashed in cyberspace. Just before Russian forces crossed the border in late February, hackers backing Moscow allegedly hacked a number of Ukrainian websites.

The Ukrainian government is said to be seeking cyber professionals with experience in both defensive and offensive operations for its cyber force.”
