Brinztech Alert: 40k Dakota Ruzaevka (RU Delivery) DB Leak Creates Physical Security & Mass Fraud Risk

Dark Web News Analysis

A threat actor known as “trashfunny” has leaked (not sold) a database on the “DarkForums” hacking site, claiming it was stolen from Dakota Ruzaevka (dakotadostavka.ru), a local Russian food delivery service. The leak contains 40,000 rows of sensitive customer data.

This is a critical PII and physical security breach. The database allegedly includes a complete dossier for committing targeted fraud and physical crimes:

• Full PII (Names, Email Addresses, Phone Numbers)
• Complete Physical Addresses (Postal codes, City, Street, House number)
• Order & Financial Data (Order details, Invoice numbers, Payment methods, Shipping methods)
• Technical Data (Customer IDs, IP addresses)

The data was leaked for free, guaranteeing its immediate and widespread distribution among cybercriminals, who will weaponize it immediately.

Key Cybersecurity Insights

This data leak presents several immediate, overlapping, and catastrophic threats to the victims:

• A “Burglary/Stalker Goldmine” / Physical Security Threat: This is the most severe and unique danger. This database is a pre-vetted target list for physical crime. Criminals now have the full home addresses, names, and phone numbers of 40,000 people. They can use this data to conduct targeted burglaries, home invasions, or stalking. The data (like order history/IP) could even be used to profile a victim’s habits or likely “at-home” times.
• A “Turnkey” Kit for Hyper-Personalized Vishing: This is the most immediate financial threat. The combination of PII + real order details + payment method is a “turnkey kit” for hyper-personalized vishing (voice phishing). Attackers will call victims, impersonate dakotadostavka.ru, reference their real name, address, and recent order, and then state there is a “problem with your [payment method].” This will be an extremely convincing scam to steal full credit card or banking credentials.
• A Catastrophic, Finable 152-FZ Violation: For the (unknown) company, this is a flagrant violation of Russia’s Federal Law No. 152-FZ on Personal Data. The failure to protect this volume of PII, especially when combined with home addresses and payment info, exposes the company to a mandatory investigation by Russia’s data protection authority, Roskomnadzor, and the certainty of significant fines and reputational ruin.

Mitigation Strategies

In response to a breach of this magnitude, the company and all its users must take immediate, decisive action:

1. For Dakota Ruzaevka: Activate “Code Red” IR & Notify Roskomnadzor. This is a critical incident. The company must assume a total compromise, immediately engage a digital forensics (DFIR) firm to find the vulnerability exploited by “trashfunny,” and fulfill its legal obligation to notify Roskomnadzor and all 40,000 victims.
2. For All Customers: Be on Maximum Physical & Digital Alert. This is the critical defense.
   • Digital: Be on MAXIMUM ALERT for any unsolicited calls or SMS from “Dakota” or “your bank.” NEVER “verify” payment details over the phone. Hang up and call the company/bank back on a known, trusted number.
   • Physical: Be aware that your home address and phone number are public. Be extra vigilant about home security and be wary of suspicious, unsolicited deliveries or strangers.
3. For All Customers (Financial): Monitor All Financial Accounts. This is the critical financial defense. All victims must immediately and diligently begin monitoring their bank and credit card statements (especially the one listed as their “payment method”) for any unauthorized activity. Report any fraud to their bank immediately.
