This data includes, among other things, drawings of weapons used by NATO allies in Ukraine. Weapons manufacturer MBDA Missile Systems admitted that its data was among the leaks.
A NATO spokesperson said in a statement: “We are evaluating allegations of data allegedly stolen from MBDA. We have no indication that any NATO networks have been hacked.” said.
The BBC claims that cybercriminals have sold 80GB of stolen data for 15 bitcoins (about 1.2 million rubles) and have already sold it to at least one unknown buyer.
In their announcement, the hackers claim to have “confidential information about employees of companies involved in the development of closed military projects”, as well as “project documentation, drawings, presentations, video and photographic materials, contract agreements and correspondence with other companies.” “
A sample of 50MB of free data seen by the BBC includes documents labeled “NATO CONFIDENTIAL”, “NATO RESTRICTED” and “Unclassified Controlled Information”.
The files, which the BBC could not independently verify, detail a US Air Fleet “communications reconnaissance” mission conducted in Estonia over the Baltic in late 2020. They contain the call logs, full name, phone number and GPS coordinates of the person believed to be at the center of the operation.
