Names and addresses of 620 FSB officers published in data breach

Posted on March 29, 2022 by Dissent
Details of Russian FSB officers were posted on Ukraine government’s website.

Tom Ball reports:

The names and addresses of 620 people who are said to be FSB officers were published yesterday in what Kyiv said was a huge data breach of the Russian security agency.

The Ukrainian directorate of intelligence claimed that the list included the personal details of agents engaging in “criminal activities” across Europe.

Links to the list have been posted on a number of websites already. But are the data accurate or real?  Michael Kan addresses that question in his reporting on PC Mag:

According to Aric Toler, a researcher at investigative reporting group Bellingcat, some of the names seem to come from existing leaks on FSB officers, but other details on the list appear to be original.

 

 

“Going through some of these with spot-checks, and a lot of them are direct copy-pastes from different leaked databases,” he added. So it’s possible much of the information is nothing new in the spy world. Still, it could paint a bigger target on the backs of many FSB officers.
