Roskomnadzor reported that it had found a leak from 500 million Russian accounts

Deputy head of Roskomnadzor (RKN) Milos Wagner said that since the beginning of 2024, the data of 510 million Russian accounts has been leaked online.

At the same time, 500 million accounts were compromised in one leak. How it happened and who was involved is still unknown – the RKN is investigating this case.

In 2023, the number of data compromises increased year-over-year, but the volume of data breaches decreased. “And this year, this one case covered almost the entire previous year.”

Last year, 168 data breaches were discovered across 300 million accounts. A year earlier, 600 million records were leaked online, and over 140 leaks were recorded. (Kommersant)
