RIA Novosti writes about this.

“As we projected from the end of 2022 through 2023, we saw an increase in the number of publications about data breaches,” he said.

According to Ivanov, such statements are not always reliable; sometimes those who publish them use a compilation of open data, but even taking this into account, the volume of leaked data last year was colossal.

Earlier, the head of the department of security problems in the information sphere of the Russian Security Council, Alexei Petrov, said that cyber attacks on Russian infrastructure are mainly carried out by foreign intelligence services.

As Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko reported, more than 65 thousand cyber attacks on critical information infrastructure facilities were repelled in Russia in 2023.
