According to Reuters on September 20, the personal data of 1,000 Belarusian policemen was widely distributed on the Telegram app on the night of September 19 (local time). This is seen as a form of retaliation by hackers because the police forcibly dispersed protests demanding the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko.
“If we still arrest the protesters, we will continue to publish data on a large scale,” the statement aired on the opposition news channel Nexta Live on the Telegram app.
The Belarusian government has said it will uncover and punish hackers who disseminate personal police data. “The forces, vehicles and technology of the interior agencies can identify and prosecute the vast majority of people who leak personal data on the Internet,” said Interior Ministry spokeswoman Olga Chemodanova. .
Since September 9, after Lukashenko declared victory in the presidential elections, a series of protests broke out in Belarus against the election results and demanded the resignation of President Lukashenko.
The Belarusian government said that during the September 19 demonstration, the participants clashed with the police and 390 women were arrested. Most of them were later released, according to Reuters.
