Profile
The Moscow Electronic School is a state‑run educational platform that provides digital services for Moscow’s public school system. It hosts academic records, student portfolios and other learning resources for pupils, teachers and administrators. The website operates as the official online portal for the Moscow Electronic School initiative, which aims to integrate technology into the city’s schooling infrastructure. Its headquarters are located in Russia, reflecting its national and municipal governance. The platform is designed to support the delivery of curriculum materials, facilitate communication between schools and families, and store personal data related to the educational process.
In December 2022 the platform suffered a security breach when a pro‑Ukrainian hacker group known as NLB accessed and leaked over three million personal records. The exposed data included login credentials, full names, birth dates, government‑issued identification numbers, email addresses and phone numbers belonging to a significant portion of Moscow residents, including schoolchildren. Independent verification confirmed that the leaked information corresponded to legitimate user accounts, despite official denials from authorities about the breach’s validity. The incident highlighted vulnerabilities in the platform’s security infrastructure, which is responsible for safeguarding critical academic records and student portfolios. As a state‑run service, the Moscow Electronic School operates under the oversight of Moscow’s municipal education authorities and is funded by the regional budget. No further details about parent organisations or subsidiaries are specified in the available sources.
