Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has carried out a large-scale cyber operation against Russian proxy authorities in occupied Crimea, gaining access to more than 100 terabytes of classified data, a source told the Kyiv Independent on September 24.

The hack reportedly exposed the official correspondence of Crimean occupation head Sergey Aksyonov, along with internal documents and communications across Russian-controlled ministries and agencies.

Among the most significant findings were records documenting the illegal abduction of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions, Kyiv Independent reported. The files include lists of minors taken to Russia and Crimea, with personal details, guardian information, and places of residence or study.
