Hackers claim Russian statistics records show nearly 393,000 war-linked deaths
Belarusian group Cyberpartisans BY and Ukrainian group Silent Crow claim hacked Russian statistics agency records contain about 392,700 death certificates explicitly linked to the Ukraine war, covering February 24, 2022, through August 2026. The groups say they stole 23 terabytes of information from the agency’s internal systems on November 1. Russia’s federal statistics agency acknowledged cyberattacks between October 29 and November 1 but said no information leak had been confirmed.
