I downloaded and extracted the files in a fresh Linux virtual machine with tools for viewing Word, Excel, and PDF documents. After reviewing the contents for about 30 minutes, the data appears technically authentic—not AI-generated—but nothing particularly noteworthy stood out.

The files "Vulnerabilities/Fetched Data.txt" appear to be output from an automated security scanner that targeted public-facing web servers. Some directory labels are inaccurate. For instance, a company listed as a crypto exchange—Cryptopro—is actually an IT consulting firm focused on cryptography and PKI.

A number of Word, Excel, and PDF files containing corporate reports and similar materials appear to be publicly accessible online and even indexed by search engines. I was able to locate several by searching their titles.

One file, "Part 1/Report those Russian ringleaders/russRingleadersPerDFUNAFO.txt", seems to be the likely source of the "Kremlin Assets in the West" mention. It’s a brief list of Twitter accounts and may have been assembled through open-source intelligence methods.

While the leak might contain some mistakenly published or sensitive material, I didn’t come across anything as significant or dramatic as implied by the article linked.

From a quick scan of the file listing of the 18GB compressed folder linked for download elsewhere, looks like it's a collection of completely random data hacked over a number of years from various accounts that may or may not be connected with Russia (Guy Ritchie? Kanye West? Why?).

Also, why a PNG?

Some bank data seems to be exposed here (internal control panels), but in other cases it's just a dump of public website HTML?

10TB seems just plain wrong (didn't bother downloading the whole thing, though).

Yikes, the archive article asked me to install Abobe Flash, and I am on Linux. I guess it is really from Russia :)

Seems very dubious, new accounts in the comments urging people to download it ( u/Sonnigeszeug) all the 'sources' go back to the same file, claims it is on torrent trackers yet providing no evidence for? A very sensational article with no proof and if it was true downloading russian government data with no idea whats in it? the sweetest of honey right here

"Leaked data" seems like a stretch. Sounds like someone ran a vulnerability scanner on some Twitter accounts. Don't have time to go through all the data though, so maybe there are interesting things in there.

Any validity besides one news article? seems to be getting the hug of death atm.

That's fun. Someone feeling up to feeding the 90k trump files into an LLM for a synopsis?

If this is real, there will be claims made and the general public has no way to verify. 10TB is technically challenging to handle for the vast majority of people. Would be really important for someone to re-upload and index the extracted files for online browsing.

So do we have a verdict yet? Anything more than scraped osint and telegram chats?

Finally. More than 3 years to get russia hacked properly is a bit much. I think IT security got a bit too secure for the safety of freedom.

One ai slop article, and an 18gb mediafirelink from some twitter literally who. Taking bets for complete nothingburger...

What is wrong with people. Who believes this is real?

Do you really think a WordPress website from India posting obvious fake news and conspiracies should be trusted?

Do you think the source that brought you this is reliable in any way: https://archive.ph/8RGAb "Shocking Footage: Hunter Biden & Ellen Caught in Adrenochrome Bust!"

Trump has ~91k files in the data

[edit] site down - reddit link to the 10tb

how did this become popular in the first place? was it this user? was it a plant on reddit if it was a scam?

Archive, since the site appears to be down. It's AI-generated slop with basically no informational value though.

anyone have an alternate link?

am I just being a newb or is OP god-tier with their WPM?

I really despise these things where its a drop n run, and all these yahoos in the comments just talk oblivious towards the fact that person who submitted it remains silent about it..

like... this looks like a sweaty guessing game with everyone in the comments, especially over something that's very likely just troubled/plagued assets to begin with

like, just ask the dude who submitted the shit about more information first or something

I wish they’d leak Trump’s grades from college. And his associates’s trades around his tariff announcements, and all the things.

CAREFUL - it could very well be an attempt to get you to download malware.

- New account Sonnigeszeug encouraging downloading of the archive

I'd recommend you avoid downloading anything unless you understand the potential consequences. Ideally do so in a sandboxed environment.
