It is reported that a cyber attacker has publicly disclosed a highly sensitive database allegedly from the Southern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces on a dark web forum. The leaked content involves personal information of military personnel who were absent without leave or left their posts without authorization between 2022 and 2024.

According to information provided by the threat actor, the allegedly leaked database includes the following detailed information: full name, military rank, unit and formation details, date of birth, personal identification number, date and circumstances of departure, among other details.
