Russian hackers, money for information on Tajani, Lo Voi and Gabrielli: private data already on the darkweb

They have put a price on the information of those who hunt them. The pro-Russian hackers of NoName057(16) offer money to know more about the Rome prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi and the head of the Postal Police Ivano Gabrielli, the men who lead the offices involved in the investigation into the collective linked to the Kremlin. Also at the head of a list of eighteen objectives at European level is Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. The private data of all three are already exposed on the darkweb: telephone numbers, emails and Telegram contacts still in use. The fourth name is that of Paolo Tassan-Zanin, mayor of Aviano, the city that hosts the NATO/USAF air base.

The Rome Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation after the filing of a crime report.

The page on which the list is published is called «Court». A name that evokes a judgment entrusted to the audience of the darkweb, accompanied by an explicit request: «Here is the list of citizens hostile to the Russian Federation, on whom we are interested in obtaining information. For a fee."

Each target has its own profile: emails, landlines and mobile numbers, Telegram addresses, social profiles. Private life is collected in a file and made available to anyone who accesses the site. To achieve it you need Tor, the network that protects connections with multiple layers of encryption. It is the only entrance door to the page: whoever enters it can consult the information published.

The mechanism operates on two levels. NoName offers money to collect more data and, at the same time, disseminates the data already obtained. The filing thus becomes an instrument of pressure on the persons indicated. And it can fuel new cyber actions, offering those who consult the cards the contact details of the targets.
