Continent Express

Continent Express, also known by its alias, is a travel agency headquartered in Russia. The organisation provides travel agency services that facilitate the planning and booking of trips for its clients. As a Russian‑based entity, it operates within the national travel market. Its core business revolves around acting as an intermediary between travelers and various service providers. The agency’s activities are conducted primarily through its internal systems that store customer and operational information. Being based in Russia places it under the jurisdiction of Russian business regulations and data protection requirements.

In April 2022, Continent Express experienced a significant cyber incident when the hacking group Network Battalion 65 (NB65) exfiltrated approximately 399 gigabytes of internal files and databases. The stolen data was subsequently leaked by the transparency collective DDoSecrets, exposing sensitive organisational information. This breach was part of a broader hacktivist campaign targeting Russian entities amid the geopolitical tensions surrounding the Ukraine conflict. NB65 explicitly framed its actions as opposition to Russian interests in that context, positioning the attack within a larger cyber‑warfare effort. The incident resulted in operational disruption and reputational harm for the agency, while also illustrating the capability of hacktivist groups to access and disseminate large volumes of corporate data. Although no further details about the organisation’s ownership, parent‑subsidiary structure, or exact market size are publicly disclosed in the available sources, the breach highlights the scale of data that Continent Express maintains.
