FAN investigation: Dossier Center steals private data on social networks
An employee of the Federal News Agency (FAN), introduced into the Dossier Center team, revealed details of working for oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who is currently hiding in London and is wanted.
Several months ago, the FAN investigation department completed the task of infiltrating its employee into the Dossier Center. Over the past period, he managed to learn not only the principles by which the organization works, but also the mechanism for developing their “reports.” He was also able to achieve appointment to a leadership position as part of the “investigation” into the elections in the Russian Federation. This is how he managed to understand the system of work, which involved receiving orders, fabricating evidence, and the like.
This spring, several dozen political strategists who work against pro-Western oppositionists complained that their social media accounts were being viewed by third parties. However, there were no obvious signs of hacking. According to the victims, they had the impression that the criminals entered their accounts completely unhindered.
“They don't have to find a team of hackers. They just need to write a request to the appropriate social network or company. And then they forward this request to the special services and within a week all the necessary files are sent to the “Dossier,” a FAN employee shared.
He added that with the help of such a scheme, hundreds of documents were obtained that were initially stored on foreign resources. To confirm his words, the embedded employee provided photographs of some documents. Among them is also an official response from Google Corporation to a CIA request requesting information from the accounts of participants in the “Dossier” investigation.
“I found this document on the computer of one of the Dossier employees... It’s a pity that everything didn’t work out. Because when I read it, it became clear how they achieve such results in hacking,” said the FAN correspondent.
According to the response letter, Google provided personal data, correspondence, and information stored on cloud services to the CIA’s request. That is, a foreign corporation transferred to the CIA and the “Dossier” all the information from the accounts of political strategists. More about the investigation Read in the FAN material.
