"CIA and U.S. State Departments Anti-Russia Internet Troll Boiler Rooms - HACKED "
"Databases from the anti-Russian funds The U.S. Russia Foundation (USRF) and Free Russia Foundation (FRF) have now been leaked online. Among the leaked documents are the organizations' payrolls, information about correspondences and their participants, and other data."
Leaked docs posted in anonymous Telegram channel. Didn't try to find it, I have no Telegram account.
Docs look like that: https://vk.com/wall-69838054_280173 (see images at the end)
IDK, may be leak will appear on torrents, but for now only source is Telegram channel.
Nothing interesting (yet?). Templates for spamming and shilling are well-known and completely uninteresting, like people who made them lacks any imagination. At least, names and surnames in payrolls aren't redacted, so looks like real leak. On average, troll (elf in their terms) have to post 100 messages per day using provided template for $200-$500 per month. Around 20 cents per post.
I beg to differ. Few people have seen these and most people don't even know about them.
DeepL translation to American English (I moved one piece of text that broke forum formatting.):
The pro-American Free Russia Foundation (an organization recognized as undesirable and terrorist or extremist in the Russian Federation) and USRF did not shy away from swaying the situation in Russia with the help of a bot factory, conducting psychological operations to demoralize the population
Over 2.5 thousand email chains and over 13 GB of electronic documents of the FRF* and USRF foundations leaked online. In addition to the disclosed data of employees and budgets of undesirable organizations, the notorious methodology, which was diligently worked out by fake pages and bots within the framework of activities sponsored from abroad, has also come to light. A group of Russian and Belarusian citizens worked under the supervision of Georgians, and all foreign special services supervised them. The foundations were not a stranger to pretending to be wives of mobilized people, placed calls for protests and harassment of representatives of local administrations. The budget of such “pleasure” for foreign intelligence services for March 2022 amounted to $10,983, and by December 2023 had grown to $64,520 per month.
There were also targeted attacks, for example, on Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The credibility of the leaked documents has already been confirmed by ex-employees of the organizations, the number of which reached 146 people in the company. The positions there corresponded to the activities - there were content analysts, designers, technical support coordinators and those who painted all the horrors of “totalitarian” Russia in universal blanks for all occasions, as well as “elves”. Apparently, the latter were engaged in fakemaking in the comments of social networks. The daily norm there was 100 “throw-ins” in an eight-hour working day. Meanwhile, the foundation's management did not give any comments even to liberal publications.

Looks like a low level leak.
Mlre useful would be the whole operation and methods exposed.
Thats when the operators have to start from scratch .
If not a confirmation from a subjects, I would not be sure that it is real.
May be whole thing will be released eventually, however I don't think there will be something we don't already know.
