In this attack, this hacking group has claimed that they have compromised and leaked more than 40,000 confidential documents of the Russian Nuclear Institute.

Apart from this, for further sabotage operations, the Network Battalion 65 has asked other community members to help them in interpreting the documents that are written in Cyrillic, since all these documents can contain confidential information.
