Russian pro-democracy nonprofit investigates alleged data breach by Kremlin-backed hackers

The Free Russia Foundation reported a data breach in which hackers allegedly stole and published thousands of emails and roughly 13 GB of documents; the foundation suspects the Kremlin-aligned groups Coldriver (and related Coldwastrel activity) and the leak may endanger staff and be used for repression. The breach follows published research linking targeted phishing campaigns against human rights groups and civil society to these Russia-aligned actors, and the investigation is ongoing.
