Belarusian cyber-activist groups Silent Crow and Cyber-Partisans BY, after hacking into Rosstat’s infrastructure, published state Russian statistics on occupation troops killed in the war.
To publish statistics, cyberguerrillas created a special website .
“During our hacking of Rosstat with colleagues from Cyber Partisan BY, which we reported on in a previous publication, we managed to download the databases of the information system "Demography". The database contains information about the population census, as well as data on the causes of death of citizens,” they wrote on the Silent Crow Tg channel.
According to the aforementioned website, the Russians count 450,100 dead in the war against Ukraine. At the same time, more than 356,000 dead occupiers are recorded in the statistics under the code Y36 “military operations”, more than 38,000 under the code Y89.1, and more than 18,000 under the column “during military operations”. Almost 600 more occupiers died allegedly as a result of a “terrorist act”, and almost 14,000 Russians died in the occupied territory without an established cause. More than 14,000 are written off as non-combat losses of the military and 9,000 dead Russians are recorded under the acts without an indicated cause of death.
“These are only deaths registered by Russian registry offices. There are no wounded, missing, or foreign mercenaries here — their deaths are not included in the Rosstat register. Therefore, the total combat losses are much higher,” the cyberguerrillas stated.
The site also provides detailed information — where in Russia the most people died in the war and where the deaths of the invaders were recorded. The greatest losses of Russians living in the Volga region — they account for 21,7% of the total losses. More than half of all dead Russians lost their lives in the territory of the so-called DPR — at least, such data is recorded in the statistics disclosed by hackers.
As dev.ua previously wrote, Belarusian hacktivist groups Silent Crow and "Cyberpartisans BY" previously announced the successful compromise and destruction of Rosstat’s internal IT infrastructure .
Cyber guerrillas stated that they had about 25,000 machines under their control, which allowed them to download about 23TB of information.
