The Free Russia Foundation, a prominent pro-democracy non-governmental organization in Russia, suffered a data breach, with its inbox contents being leaked online. The incident is suspected to be linked to ColdRiver, an alleged Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group operated by the FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia). The leaked data could potentially expose sensitive information related to the organization’s activities and contacts. This highlights the risks faced by organizations advocating for democratic principles and human rights, particularly in countries with restrictive regimes, and underscores the need for robust cybersecurity practices to mitigate the threat of state-sponsored espionage and attacks.
