Group-IB's independent investigation of The Voice Kids Russia Season 6 found automated vote manipulation that advantaged one contestant: an IVR pool of ~9,484 consecutive Bashkortostan numbers generating 33,175 calls and an SMS pool of 253 Leningrad-region numbers producing ~8,217 messages (many containing technical multithreading logs). A security assessment uncovered serious vulnerabilities in the vote aggregation system (SQL injection, access-control bypasses, lack of data-integrity controls), but digital forensics found no evidence those vulnerabilities were exploited; investigators identified IOCs (consecutive phone-number ranges, SMS with thread/timestamp data) and recommended operator-level checks and system hardening.
