RUSSIAN authorities have reportedly detained three suspected members of the DataSuckers hacking group in connection with a cyberattack on Dodo Pizza, a popular restaurant chain. The breach is said to have exposed vast customer data, including records dating back around 15 years and purportedly covering hundreds of millions of orders. A Moscow court placed 19-year-old Denis Fridman under house arrest until 8 December on charges linked to the illegal handling of computer information containing personal data. The reporting indicates these arrests are part of a wider operation against the group.
DataSuckers has been described by authorities as a financially motivated gang that has claimed responsibility for recent attacks on major businesses in Russia and Ukraine. In addition to Fridman, two other suspects have been detained, while a fourth remains at large. Media outlets cited in the report—Kommersant and Telegram outlet Baza—suggest the suspects include citizens of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
The articles emphasise that the information available at this stage comes from law enforcement statements and news reports; it is not clarified whether all individuals are charged specifically in relation to the Dodo Pizza breach or to other incidents attributed to the group. The Record is cited for further details on the breach, while the status of ongoing investigations or potential wider operational ties to Ukraine and Russia remains to be confirmed.
