Ukrainian volunteers spend 2 years collecting information on salaries paid to Russian soldiers in Donbas and Syria

Over the course of two years, Ukrainian volunteers have exploited a vulnerability in the Russian Defense Ministry’s website to collect classified information on the salaries paid to Russian soldiers who are fighting in Ukraine and in Syria, as reported on Facebook by Sean Brian Townsend, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance.

According to him, the Russian news outlet Fontanka.ru found a hole in the Russian Defense Ministry’s website, which Ukrainian volunteers had been using to collect confidential information.
