Belarusian hacktivists admit to 2023 breach of Russian state healthcare network
Belarusian Cyber Partisans say they breached Moscow’s health department in 2023 and accessed medical systems.
The Belarusian Cyber Partisans said they infiltrated the Moscow Department of Health in 2023, quickly gained administrator-level access to infrastructure linked to other government agencies, and later stopped maintaining that access. Russian cybersecurity firm Solar, a Rostelecom subsidiary, reported discovering a related healthcare intrusion in December 2025 and tracing signs to early 2024. Researchers said sensitive medical information was accessed but data was not destroyed and operations were not disrupted. The group told Recorded Future News the data could help assess Russian military casualties in Ukraine and claimed unverified access to hundreds of systems in Russia and Belarus.
