Hacking the accounts on the GosUslugi in the interests of "United Russia" party was explained by the weak passwords

The ministry commented on the hacking of the account of the journalist of Ekho Moskvy radiostation Arina Borodina on GosUslugi site. The department believes that the journalist set a simple password that coincided with access to other resources.

We will remind you that on Thursday in the radio presenter of Ekho Moskvy radiostation wrote on her Facebook page that her account was hacked and changed the address of registration from Moscow to Chelyabinsk. At the same time, she has never even been to Chelyabinsk. In the section "actions in the system" the journalist saw that the changes were made by the United Russia Personal Data Processing Center. The journalist suggested that this was done in order to vote for the "necessary" candidate for the party's primaries in Chelyabinsk on May 24-30. Director Maria Ivanova also faced a similar situation.

Kommersant was told in the ministry, that the department actually found hacked accounts on GosUslugi (State Services). The ministry advised users to "use complex unique passwords".

United Russia members promised to contact law enforcement agencies.
