Ksenia Sobchak comments on the publication of her private correspondence
Well-known Russian journalist Ksenia Sobchak has found herself at the center of a scandal after fragments of her private correspondence appeared online. A hacker group called Black Mirror, which has been hacking the accounts of public figures for several years, has claimed responsibility for the publication.
Sobchak herself stated that she considers these actions an attempt to pressure her within the country. She emphasized that such methods of dealing with undesirable journalists and bloggers are becoming increasingly common in the Russian media space. The journalist expressed confidence that those behind the publication are people who want to discredit her professional activities.
The Black Mirror group has been known for its activities since 2019. The hackers regularly post stolen data belonging to politicians, businessmen, and show business stars in the public domain. Cybersecurity experts note that such information leaks are often used to manipulate public opinion and intimidate media figures.
At the moment, law enforcement agencies have not provided official comments regarding this incident. The situation has caused a wide resonance on social networks, where users are discussing issues of internet privacy and the security of personal data in the digital age.
