Rosstat is very much like the U.S. Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics in the United States, or the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK. It isn’t a big juicy military infrastructure target, but if accurate war casualty figures can come from the claimed exfiltrated data haul, then it would be a considerable win for Ukraine and its supporters.

Today @cpartisans and SilentCrow took down Russia's Federal State Statistics Service — the nerve center behind every socioeconomic number this regime produces.

As we mentioned in the intro, both the Belarusian CyberPartisans and Silent Crow claim to have snagged lots of sensitive data from the Russian government thanks to this breach. The former’s tweet includes evidence and a breakdown. “Entire IT infrastructure wiped: Domain controllers, databases, servers, virtualization, document workflow, workstations, admin consoles, VPN,” notes a follow-up post about the Rosstat hack attack. “Systems destroyed: STATEK, CSOD, Demography, SED, ESSO, OFSN, internal employee surveillance, StatRegister, websites and more.”

This is a developing story with the Belarusian CyberPartisans promising to share more sensitive information from Rosstat after they have picked through it. The Rosstat website was reportedly defaced with hacker messages and logos. Rosstat remains inaccessible at the time of writing.

We spotted an interesting graphic shared by the Belarusian CyberPartisans , which included the Silent Crow logo. A chart indicates that over the last two years, between 25,000 and 50,000 Russian soldiers were killed every month. The October 2026 figure is just a smidgen under 50,000, if this data leak news is genuine.
