🚨🇷🇺 Three suspected DataSuckers members reportedly detained in Russia
Russian authorities have reportedly detained three of the four suspected members of DataSuckers, a financially motivated hacking and data extortion group linked to attacks across Russia and Ukraine.
⠀
Denis Fridman, 19, was placed under house arrest until December 8 over the Dodo Pizza breach. The other suspects reportedly include citizens of Kazakhstan and Belarus, while a fourth alleged member remains at large.
⠀
Investigators reportedly identified Fridman after he exposed his home IP address while accessing data stolen from Dodo Pizza.
⠀
The group allegedly entered the company’s systems using corporate credentials exposed on GitHub, allowing access to cloud storage, databases and stored passwords.
⠀
Dodo Pizza previously confirmed that attackers may have accessed customer names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and order information. The stolen archive was reportedly sold for $100,000.
⠀
DataSuckers has also claimed attacks against Russian travel company Tez Tour and Ukrainian supermarket chain ATB Market. Both companies disputed claims that customer information was compromised.
