This is more than for the entire last year
Deputy head of Roskomnadzor Milos Wagner reported that since the beginning of 2024, data from 510 million Russian accounts have been published on the Internet.
At the same time, 500 million accounts were compromised as a result of one leak. The reasons and those responsible for the incident have not yet been established, but Roskomnadzor is investigating this case.
If we compare 2022 and 2023, the number of cases of data compromise has increased, but the volume of leaks has decreased. As Wagner noted, one large leak this year covered the leaks for the entire last year.
In 2022, there were 168 data breaches involving 300 million accounts. A year earlier, the data of 600 million users was leaked in 140 cases.
