"Retribution: Hackers Target Russian Prisoner Database in Response to Navalny's Death"

Hackers, allegedly seeking revenge for the death of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny, breached a Russian prison contractor's website and stole a database containing information on hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners and their relatives. They also manipulated the online prison shop's prices and left pro-Navalny messages. The hackers claim to be a mix of nationalities, including Russian expatriates and Ukrainians, and are sharing the stolen data in the hope of uncovering the truth behind Navalny's death. This incident highlights the rise of politically motivated hacking, or "hacktivism," in the context of geopolitical tensions, particularly in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
