Data on almost 7,700 members of the revamped Azov Battalion (the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade) were published by the pro-Russia hacker group RaHDit on Wednesday, including over 4,000 images. 

"This is the largest leak of enemy information since the launch of the 'NemeZida' project," the hackers told Sputnik, highlighting that "The new Azov has continued the traditions of the old one - many members have tattoos of swastikas and have been convicted of crimes, many of them have deviations. A number of people from the new Azov were previously exchanged as prisoners and vowed to others that they had abandoned Nazism, but they are now part of the renewed staff and have gone to fight again."

Despite Azov originating from and being based in Ukraine, the hacker group revealed that foreign nationals were also members of the brigade. RaHDit added that they hope this newly revealed information will help the Russian armed forces prevent the neo-Nazi fighters from evading justice and retribution.

RaHDit has leaked information throughout the Russia-Ukaine war which began in February 2022, such as hacking all 755 Ukrainian government websites. In addition, back in July, the group disclosed data on over 3,200 mercenaries in the Ukrainian armed forces, and leaked information on NATO officers fighting against Moscow in cyberspace.

On July 20, 2023, RaHDit published the data of 1,700 employees of the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as that of 2,000 military personnel of the Ukrainian Navy.

According to the hacker group, the data on the Security Service employees was unveiled in response to the attack on the Crimean Bridge, Sputnik reported.

It is reported that the hackers also leaked data on members of the UA Cats Division, a volunteer organization that collects donations for sea drones for Ukraine, as it is speculated that the attack was carried out using these unmanned vehicles.

In further response to the attack, RaHDit unveiled the routes of civilian ships it is thought that the naval drones with explosives were launched from toward the bridge.

Two tankers, Beks Loyal and Khudayar Yusifzade, the hacker group said, could have partaken in the operation by dropping unmanned naval vessels to attack the bridge. One had drifted opposite the Russian coast in the Black Sea while the other drifted south, days ahead of the attack.
