Housing frauds in occupied cities: hackers broke the correspondence

To spread: the well -known volunteer of the Russian Federation Alexander Ivanov tries to seize real estate in the temporarily occupied Mariupol and other non -controlled cities of Ukraine allegedly for the needs of its volunteer organization. Correspondence, which testify to real estate frauds and reveal other details of the Kremlin's "volunteers" and the spread of Russian propaganda in the occupied territories, has a Ukrainian hacker group "256 Cyber ​​Storm".

About it, with reference to cyber intelligence (Cybint) from the Ukrainian Hacker Group "256 Cyber ​​Storm" International International InformNapalm International Intelligence Community on April 3. It is noted that Ukrainian hackers monitored Alexander Ivanov in the messengers for almost 3 years and transmitted the data obtained by the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Journalists say that Ivanov is one of the "court Kremlin volunteers" that Russian authorities use to create the illusion of "people's unity" around the war against Ukraine. He is a member of the Union Russia party, constantly joining public events with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ivanov lives in the Kos-Uhtomsky district of Moscow and has his own business for disinfection and disinfection of premises, which is fictitiously registered for his relative.

In addition, it holds the order of orders of one popular Russian marketplace, investigators say. The Kremlin propaganda builds the image of Ivanov as a local activist "in the area", which does everything to support Russian soldiers at the front. Ukrainian hackers have the personal information of Alexander Ivanov since 2022. Under the pretext of "assistance from the units of the Russian army" he regularly visits the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, most often he made such trips in 2023.

Thanks to his photos and videos, it was possible to obtain valuable data on occupation troops, the defeat of Russian equipment and the situation in the occupied territories. In the personal archive of the Russian, Ukrainian cyberfahivtsi found a screenshot of a letter from the commander of the military unit 49881 to the occupation administration of Mariupol, in which he asks to allocate an apartment for the volunteer organization of Ivanov "We will live Russia".

This case may indicate that the Volunteer Organization is needed Ivanov is not only to raise funds for the Russian army, investigators say. Ivanov also has close ties with the occupying power of Lugansk. In 2023, his chief partner was the expectorate of the so -called "People's Council of the Luhansk People's Republic" and the former head of the "Committee of State Security and Defense of the LNR" Oleg Popov.

In September 2023, Ivanov seemed to jokingly said Popov that it would be very good "to have an apartment in the center of" Republic "and specified that in Mariupol" the process went through the administration "in Mariupol. Investigators say that further correspondence is unknown whether the Z-volunteer managed to obtain real estate in Lugansk, because in December 2023 Oleg Popov was liquidated during a car explosion.

"Ivanova's apartment buildings look particularly cynical, given that Russia cannot provide housing for local residents in the occupied territories for three years. They remained on the street due to the discharge of bombs, rocket strokes and shelling of Russian artillery. Note in InformNapalm. Ivanov has a curator at the highest level of Russian power. He is Sergey Khrlev, Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee on Defense.

Investigators also point out that from Ivanov's obtained correspondence boxes, we can draw conclusions about the attitude of the Russian population to the war, which often helps the army "from the whip". For example, Ivanov wanted to buy an antitrone gun for the invaders and was indignant at a high price, which he received from the seller criticism of the invading war conducted by Russia against Ukraine.

In another dialogue, an employee of the school where Ivanov had previously organized the needs of the Russian army, refused to launch a new gathering, because "helping people were ready in everyday life, but also a little", and now the authorities say that everything is calm and steadily on the front, and she could not say.

We will remind, on April 1 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, which in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories of the Russian Federation forcibly mobilizes Ukrainians to the army. Also on April 1, the head of the Center for Occupation Study Petro Andryushchenko stated that the residents were denied the status of a person with a disability as a result of a war with an argument that she was injured not during "measures necessary to ensure the defense of Ukraine".
