Hackers stole Russian prisoner database to avenge death of Navalny

In a stunning breach of security, they appear to have stolen a #database containing information on hundreds of thousands of #Russian #prisoners and their relatives and contacts, including, the hackers claim, data held on prisoners in the Arctic penal colony where #Navalny died on February 16.

The hackers, who say they are a mix of nationalities, including Russian expatriates and Ukrainians, are sharing that data, including phone numbers and email addresses of prisoners and their relatives “in the hope that somebody can contact them and help understand what happened to Navalny,” a hacker claiming to be involved in the breach told CNN.

In addition, the hackers used their access to the Russian prison system’s online #commissary, where family members buy food for inmates, to change the prices of things like noodles and canned beef to one ruble, which is roughly $0.01, according to screenshots and videos of purchases from the online store posted by the hackers
