The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has stopped the operation of one of the largest sites with personal data of Russians, actively used by fraudsters, commercial organizations, detectives and collectors.
According to the department, the database contained complete profiles and passport data, addresses of residence and work, information on income, credit history and other unique records. Access to it was carried out through a web form or API, the cost of services reached up to a million rubles, and some of the information was resold through Telegram and the darknet.
A criminal case has been initiated on the fact of the service operation under Part 5 and Part 6 of Article 272.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal use, collection, storage and transfer of personal data by an organized group, including transboundary).
