  "account": "The Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) announced on November 1, 2026 that its servers had been hit by coordinated cyberattacks between October 29 and 31. Hack groups, including Belarusian CyberPartisans and Silent Crow, claimed to have stolen 23 terabytes of data from Rosstat, including casualty figures from the Ukrainian war. Despite Rosstat's denial of any data leak, the hackers insist their massive data haul includes sensitive information on Russian wartime losses. The leaked data reportedly suggests that up to 50,000 Russian soldiers are killed each month during the conflict. Both groups are labeled as extremist by Russian authorities and have previously targeted other high-profile organizations in 2025.",
  "summary": "Russia's Rosstat admitted that its servers were attacked by hackers but denies data leaks which appear to show as many as 50,000 military deaths per month.",
