Russia's Rosoboronexport Hacked, Documents Exposed, Highlighting India-Russia Trade Problems

In what is being described as collateral damage from Russia's annexation of Crimea, some 1,000 documents totalling 488 MB of data detailing correspondence between Russian state arms export agency Rosoboronexport (ROE) and India have been hacked and made public. The documents expose numerous instances of a malfunctioning relationship between India and the key suppliers of its air power assets.

The documents were revealed by a group of anonymous hackers calling themselves the 'Russian Cyber Command', who said they took action to expose the dealings of President Vladimir Putin's government and the: "critical infrastructure companies on which Putin's Russian empire stands".
