Bellingcat: "Food Delivery Leak Unmasks Russian Security Agents"

Russian tech giant Yandex has blamed one of its employees for the hacking and subsequent leak of data from Yandex Food, a popular food delivery service in Russia.

Among the many users affected are serving agents of Russia’s security services and military, who in several cases even ordered food to their places of work using their official email addresses.

This 1.2 gigabyte leak includes user emails and passwords, and a large number of phone numbers, addresses, and orders made on the platform. Russia’s state media watchdog Roskomnadzor has strongly attempted to block its proliferation.

Some investigators have already uncovered leads for investigations into corruption from this data leak, namely the 170 million ruble (~$2 million USD) apartment of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s reported “secret daughter”.
