The cybercriminals have put up for sale numbers and a series of passports of Russians who participated in electronic voting on amendments to the Constitution on underground trading platforms on the darknet.

The database includes 1.1 million rows, each costing $ 1.5. This information is in demand among fraudsters, since it allows them to replenish existing collections of personal data, the Kommersant newspaper reported.

According to the seller, the database is "completely fresh" and has already sold about 30 thousand records.

On July 9, Meduza was the first to report the leak of personal data from electronic voting on amendments to the Constitution. The journalists got access to the degvoter.exe executable file and the db.sqlite database containing encrypted passport data of the voting participants. Now any user can buy the leaked base.

Artyom Kostyrko, head of the department for improving territorial management and the development of smart projects of the Moscow government, in an interview with Echo of Moscow, denied the data leak, but soon the newspaper Kommersant received a txt file from the seller with the passport data of voters, and the founder of DeviceLock Ashot Oganesyan confirmed it authenticity.
