The week started with the announcement of the hack of Russia’s Ministry of Culture, Anonymous leaked 446 GB of data through the DDoSecrets platform.

Yesterday the group ‘NB 65’ (@xxNB65) announced it has hacked Continent Express, the Russian largest independent travel agency and leaked nearly 400 GB of files and databases via the DDoSecrets platform.

Anonymous also hacked Gazprom Linde Engineering, a company that specializes in designing gas and petrochemical processing facilities and oil refineries. The hackers claim to have stolen 728GB of internal data containing 768,000 emails that leaked via DDoSecrets.
