Russian Intelligence Documents for Sale: Cybercrime Group Exposes F.S.B. Secrets

A recent revelation of classified intelligence documents for sale by a cybercrime group sheds light on Russia’s concerns regarding China.


The Ares Leaks group has publicly advertised classified documents from the Russian F.S.B., revealing critical insights about Chinese espionage concerns in Russia and the secretive monitoring of WeChat communications.

In a significant yet troubling development in cybercrime and international intelligence, a group known as Ares Leaks has begun peddling classified Russian intelligence documents on the messaging app Telegram. The illicit marketplace showcases stolen governmental documents from various nations, touted by cybercriminals who maintain an anonymous presence on these channels. Among the offerings, which range from intelligence briefings on Indonesia to sensitive diplomatic cables from Taiwan, are insider insights from Russia's domestic security agency, the Federal Security Service (F.S.B.).

In November, Ares Leaks claimed they had obtained classified documents from the F.S.B., which raises security alarms across multiple fronts. The group’s promotional posts provided tantalizing glimpses of these documents, including a counterintelligence report focused on China. The market for these documents includes prices like $5,000 for intelligence briefs, while a rich trove of information about Chinese espionage was offered at an unspecified but negotiable price in cryptocurrency.

The sample document, likely drawn from the F.S.B.'s Department for Counterintelligence Operations (D.K.R.O.), lays bare Moscow's mounting fears regarding espionage activities emanating from Beijing. It also suggests that Russia may be engaging in covert activities to scrutinize data gathered from the popular Chinese messaging platform, WeChat. This detection of surveillance indicates a complex web of geopolitical tension and paranoia surrounding Russia's dealings with China.

Experts familiar with the intricacies of Russian espionage have reported that the material shared appears consistent with prior known F.S.B. documents, lending credibility to claims regarding their authenticity. No immediate flags of calamitous danger were identified, which may suggest a disturbing level of operational detail being handled with seeming ease by cybercriminals.
