Profile narrative

The organization is known by the alias Department of Information Projects. Its headquarters is located in Russia. It is a distinct entity from the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor). The name suggests a focus on information‑related projects and activities. No further details about its size, structure, or specific missions are provided in the source material. The organization operates within the Russian information and communications environment, as indicated by its designation.

On 5 March 2022, the hacking collective Anonymous compromised the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor). In conjunction with that event, a linked group known as Ghostsec separately breached the Department of Information Projects. The breach was part of a broader campaign targeting Russian state entities amid the heightened information warfare surrounding the Ukraine conflict. No specific details about the data exfiltrated from the Department of Information Projects were disclosed in the source material. The source material notes that verification of leaked documents' authenticity remained challenging due to linguistic barriers and the large volume of circulating claims during the period. These facts constitute the only publicly available information about the organization’s involvement in cyber incidents.
