The infamous hacker collective Anonymous said it has leaked a whopping 10T of data exposing Kremlin secrets, corruption, and pro-Russian ties to the West – including dirt on US President Donald Trump, but the internet, so far, is not that impressed.
The data, allegedly scraped from Russian servers, is said to be filled with damaging information on myriad entities, spanning Kremlin officials, Russian businesses, Western assets, and pro-Russian politicians, even containing files named Donald Trump (and Domino's, but more on that later).
The official social media profile for Anonymous, @YourAnonCentral, on Tuesday began circulating news of the massive leak to its 5.2 million followers on X, as well as another 435K followers on Bluesky.
“In defense of Ukraine [sic] Anonymous has released 10TB of leaked data on all businesses operating in Russia, all Kremlin assets in the West, pro-Russian officials, Donald Trump, and more,” it said.

Security insiders have been exploring the massive cache since it was dropped on the free Texas-based file hosting service, MediaFire, around 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time that same day.
But, besides trying to sift through such a large amount of random data, and from what files have been examined so far, the overall consensus seems to be that the leaked info is simply not that exciting, and apparently not that secret.
Although the Cybernews research team has not yet looked at the contents of the files, it has been widely reported that the leak contains details on various businesses operating within Russian borders, both domestic and foreign, including their financial dealings and affiliations.
Additionally, it contains information on Russian assets located in the West, and reveals a cadre of pro-Russian officials, some from Western nations, and their ongoing relationships and policies with Moscow.
On Wednesday, Reddt user civilservant2011 took one for the team and decided to download the 18.89GB compressed archive, posting about its contents on the forum, along with links to several file directories on Imgur.
Civilservant2011 also noted in their post that, “So far I haven't seen any secrets that UKR intel probably doesn't already know. Interesting archive though,” adding that their translation of the documents was slow because they did not speak Russian.
“Mostly the information in the archive is specific to individual companies in Russia with folders for them and random PDFs for each company. This archive may be useful to the UKR armed forces since there are hundreds of PDF on defense companies in Russia,” they said.
In one sample labeled “Leaked Data of Corrupt Officials,” Parts 1 through 5, the directories are chock-full of hundreds of alleged leaked data files.
Some of the file names that stood out as the most potent included: "Video evidence from Russian CCTV," "Leaked Russian control center vulnerabilities," "Leaked data of the Russian FSB," "Leaked data of the Russian agency TASS," and more.
Also on the massive file list are organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, government sites allegedly linked to China and Belarus, major companies such as Nestle and TikTok, and hacker groups including Anonymous and Killnet.
Furthermore, the oddest aspects of the list are the alleged leaked data files from Twitter accounts belonging to well-known public figures. Actor Steven Segal and rapper Kanye West are the standouts, among other famous names.
And, we must not ignore that in Part 1, a file titled "Domino's Pizza" is listed directly above President Donald Trump's name on the list.

“There is a lot of individual folders for people like Musk, Trump, Poilievre etc., but they just contain some reports from Web application scans against Twitter users (including IP addresses),” the Reddit user explained, meaning they are pretty much junk.
Doubting the 10TB in size claim, civilservant2011 further noted that they had not decompressed the whole archive (which was scanned for any vulnerabilities or malware using two separate tools), instead extracting individual files as needed.
