Nuked A massive data leak from Russian food delivery service Yandex food revealed the delivery addresses, phone numbers, names, and instructions belonging to those associated with Russia’s secret police. The data was discovered by Bellingcat.
Yandex food, a subsidiary of the larger Russian Internet company, Yandex, first reported the leak on March 1. The Roskomnadzor has since threatened to fine the company up to 100,000 rubles ($ 1,166 USD) for the leak.
Bellingcat was in contact with Russia’s federal security service (FSB) to plan Navalny’s poisoning. This person also used his work email address to register with Yandex food, allowing researchers to further ascertain his identity.
Researchers found the name of one of these agents, Yevgeny. They were able to link him to Russia’s ministry of foreign affairs and find his vehicle registration information.
Bellingcat searched for the GRU headquarters in Moscow. They found just four results – a potential sign that workers do n’t use the delivery app, or opt to order from restaurants within walking distance.
