The hacktivist group has apparently made good on its threat to go after major companies that it says have not pulled out of Russia – with claims to have leaked a trove of data belonging to food giant Nestlé.

“Nestlé, as the death toll climbs, you have been warned and now breached,” it said in its original post on Twitter. If the hacktivist collective’s follow-up post today is to be believed, it wasn’t lying.

“The Anonymous collective has leaked the database of the largest food company in the world, Nestlé,” the group declared. It further clarified that the shared data consisted of 10GB worth of emails, passwords, and client data.

Cybernews reporters investigated the files containing the leaked information – listed on Telegram as Nestle Orders.txt, Nestle partial 1.txt, Nestle Passwords.txt, and Nestle Payments.txt – and found that the data sample released by Anonymous weighed in at 5.7MB, a fraction of the total data load if the group's claims are true.

Furthermore, at time of writing Cybernews could not confirm whether the leaked data is original or in fact from previous breaches – an issue in the cyberwar that has been highlighted by other observers.

Anonymous had placed the Swiss food and drink multinational at or close to the top of its list of what it sees as pariah firms – including Burger King, Subway and CitiGroup – that it says have done too little to cut ties with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

This particular data breach is being claimed by grey-hat hacker group Kelvin Security – which normally offers to fix exploits for a fee and is now thought to have affiliated itself to Anonymous.

Whenever I see the name nestle the words water scandal and so on spring to my mind and I have no sympathy for them.

Should i feel bad about it?

I like many Nestlé products. Why should I be denied those products because Anonymous thinks Nestlé should stop selling in Russia or anywhere else for that matter. Anonymous is hurting innocent people who just happen to have been born and live in Russia. Anonymous is wrong. Plus the support behind Anonymous is just mob digital vigilantism.

Hopefully it's data about how they plan to privatize all water and sell it to us instead of it being a basic human need. Then they can get crushed by their own free market BS.

Nestlé just bottles water which it buys from water authorities - water authorities whose function is merely to distribute H2O, based upon granted water rights and licenses given by governments.

Governments are never going to give up control of water resources. Just how it is.

You have a rosy view of the world. However, I never said it wasn’t wrong.

Labeling water resource management practices and policies as right or wrong is an exercise in futility.

Don't like how it is done, then your only recourse is to become an activist or political agent with an agenda to change how it is done.

The fact that almost everyone one Earth has to pay for clean water bothers me not one bit.

I do not believe in socialism, anarchy, mutual aid, redistribution of wealth, the state takeover of means of production or resources, social justice, nor any of that left wing nonsense unless it brings solid solutions - which 99.999% of it doesn't.
