Armenia probes alleged sale of 8 million government records on hacker forum

Posted on January 13, 2026 by Dissent

Daryna Antoniuk reports:

Hackers are offering for sale what they claim is a large trove of Armenian government-related data, prompting officials in Yerevan to open an investigation into a potential breach.

The alleged seller, using the alias dk0m, said it gained access to a government notification system used to distribute official communications, including legal and administrative notices.

The dataset, advertised on an underground forum for $2,500, is said to contain about 8 million records linked to official notifications, including communications from police and judicial bodies.

In a statement on Saturday, the Public Relations and Information Center of Armenia (PRIC) — a government-linked strategic communications body — denied that the country’s government email infrastructure had been breached, but said attackers may have accessed data from another state platform.
