Several of possible Ukrainian recruits carrying HIV

Moscow, Nov 22 (Prensa Latina) Russian hackers from the RaHDIt group (acronym in English for Russian angry Hackers Did it) today leaked the data of more than 367 thousand people with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who could be recruited in Ukraine.

“We published the lists of those infected in Ukraine to show the potential for mobilization of this category and thus alert the Russian health authorities of the eventual threat posed by Ukrainian refugees and prisoners,” the RaHDit network told Sputnik on Friday.

The published lists contain data on more than 367,000 persons with HIV, mostly born in the 1960s-1980s, but also much older, as well as youngsters and children born in this century.

Over the past three years, RaHDIt hackers attacked hundreds of websites of Ukrainian public bodies; they uncovered the personal data of thousands of security and intelligence service agents, as well as employees of military recruitment offices and drone operators.

In mid-November, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Dmitry Lazutkin confirmed that the mobilization could be extended to those infected with HIV.
