Description

In February 2016, the Russian portal and email service KM.RU was targeted in a cyberattack, which was later detailed on Reddit. The attackers claimed to be protesting Russia's foreign policy toward Ukraine. KM.RU was one of several Russian sites affected in the breach, which exposed almost 1.5 million accounts containing sensitive personal information. This incident emphasizes the importance of strong cybersecurity defenses, especially for platforms vulnerable to politically motivated attacks.
