"Cyber Partisans" Downloaded 5 Terabytes Of Data From Belarusian Interior Ministry Servers

What else is known about the largest cyber attack in the history of Belarus?

"Cyber Partisans" told the AFP news agency that they have hacked more than five terabytes of data of the Interior Ministry "and not only."

AFP says it has sent requests to the Belarusian Interior Ministry, the Prosecutor's Office and the Investigative Committee, but they have not responded, reports sudouest.fr.

Cyber Partisans is a community of hackers who report hacking into various government systems and "leaking" information. For example, on July 26, the Cyber Partisans community reported the largest cyber attack in the history of Belarus.

They take credit for hacking information services of the traffic police, which have not been working since July 8 - officially due to the abnormal heat and scheduled works. Hackers also claim to have hacked into the passport database of Belarus, as well as the database 102, the database of the Internal Affairs Ministry and the video surveillance system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And in early August, they stated that they had crashed the processing of "chain letters" all over Belarus.

Belarusian authorities have not yet commented on the Cyber Partisans' reports. Only the KGB head, Ivan Tertel, said on July 30 that "a systematic collection of information about the heads of executive committees at various levels and their relatives is carried out with the help of modern information technology and hacker attacks on personal data.
