The website, accessible only through the Torbrowser for anonymous browsing Tor, appeared before May 22, the first time it was seen online by Agi. The page consists of an ironic collage of photos of Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, under the gaze of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Below, the inscription “Leak Lega Nord and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini”, both in English and in Russian, which suggests that Russian-speaking activists are hiding behind the initiative. Below the images appears the actual search engine, in which it is possible to search for a term both between the emails and the attached documents. The archive consists of tens of thousands of emails from the AnonPlus collective – linked to the Anonymous movement – in the spring of last year. At the time of the publication of the database (obtained from the computer systems of the sites of the League and of Salvini Premier) the hackers wrote on Twitter: “First trance of the downloaded database were not filtered or controlled to you the burden and the honor of doing so “.
Suggestion collected just in these days, with the publication of the entire collection of communications in a format that can be consulted using keywords. If in fact the information was available but difficult to consult – given the amount of unorganized files – today it is almost as easy to search for a term on Google.
The entire email database also contains the numerous communications sent by supporters of the leader of the League, including identity documents provided in requests for accreditation for party events and which could constitute a sensitive data since they reveal the political identity . Among the attachments, there is also the file used by the party organization to manage the agenda of the vice-president’s commitments, at the time engaged in the electoral campaign in view of the political elections of 4 March 2018.
