Databases with sensitive personal information about the clients of the top Russian banks — including Alfa Bank, the country’s largest commercial bank — leaked onto the Internet at the end of May, according to local media outlet Kommersant.
While the information from the compromised databases was gathered several years ago, a significant part of it is still relevant and can be used by unscrupulous crooks.

The Founder and CTO of DeviceLock, Ashot Oganesyan, says that the large Alfa Bank database may have leaked in 2014 when the bank performed mass layoffs of its IT staff. Some disgruntled IT employees might have made off with the database and kept it private for a long time.
Employees Are The Weakest Link
The more recent database, dated 2018-2019, might have been taken by the Alfa Bank employee responsible for combating fraud.
Now, people from these databases may fall victim to fraud.
