Hackers sympathetic to the opposition to the authoritarian regime of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko penetrated the server of the KGB secret political police and made 40,000 reports available on the Internet. Among the documents were offers of voluntary cooperation, including from Belarusians living in the Czech Republic and other countries. This was reported by The Moscow Times server, citing a statement by a group of hackers who call themselves Cyberpartisans.
The disclosures made available date from 2014 to 2023, and the whistleblowers sent them to the KGB through the very portal that the hackers attacked. It concerned Belarusians using the banned white-red-white flag, participants in anti-government protests or opposition groups on social networks. There were also reports of Belarusians fighting on the side of Ukraine against Russian troops.
