Employees of the FSB and the Main Directorate of Internal Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs carry out inspections at police stations in the Central District of Moscow. This is due to the leaking of data from Russian security officials, including to Ukraine. First on checks reported edition of Baza, citing several sources.
According to Baza, the FSB has been conducting inspections at the Central Administrative District Internal Affairs Directorate and Central District Police Departments for several weeks now. As several sources told the publication, the police were engaged in paid “breakthroughs” for Internet customers, which the Ukrainians decided to use, who began to order information about the security forces, judges and other law enforcement officers.
Having learned of the “leaks”, law enforcement conducted an operational experiment, reports Baza. On the darknet forums, they found advertisements offering “pierced” services and ordered information about some employees of the Moscow prosecutor’s office.
After receiving the requested information, the security forces ensured that the information was “leaked” through the central administrative district of the central administrative district. According to Baza’s interlocutors, it turned out that the police were also distributing “drill” orders to different neighborhoods and other neighborhoods, and their colleagues did not know what they were involved in.
As a result, three police officers from the Tagansky district police department and several officers from the Arbat police department were arrested, Baza reports. The head of the Arbat branch received a “band-aid” from management and resigned voluntarily. The letter of resignation was also presented by the Deputy Head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central Administrative District – Chief of Police Alexei Shchipov.
Sources of the publication added that computers with databases were checked in Moscow police stations, many employees were called “for a chat.”
Source RBC at headquarters in the capital said that, according to investigators, unknown attackers could obtain other people’s passwords to access information systems and download the data they need. “It is assumed that among the customers were Ukrainian citizens,” said an employee of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
TASS, citing a police source informed that the Main Directorate of Internal Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia also participates in the checks. “Currently, the FSB, together with the Main Directorate of Internal Security (GU SB) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, conducts inspections at the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central District, as well as at regional departments of internal affairs bodies due to the leak of data from Russian security officials to Ukrainian citizens,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
How complaints Baza, after dark web checks started, they all but stopped accepting orders to “drill” people through the Home Office databases, and the accounts of people involved in this are massively disappearing from Telegram. Now it is practically impossible to order “breakthroughs” on criminal records, thefts, border crossings and other data from the Ministry of Interior databases on darknet forums, the newspaper writes.
