Belarusian Cyber Partisans
The Belarusian Cyber Partisans is a highly organized hacktivist collective that is fighting for the liberation of Belarus from dictatorial rule, the establishment of democratic rights, and the rule of law in the country.
The group emerged in the wake of the 2020 protests in Belarus against the dictator Lukashenko, who had illegally seized power in the country.
There are no professional hackers among us. Most of the participants are regular IT specialists who do not agree with the lawless regime and decided to use their technical expertise to confront the dictatorship within the confines of their abilities.
Over 50 public known cyber operations
against dictatorship regimes. However, dozens of the most successful ones have not been disclosed to maintain access to sensitive systems.
Hundreds of investigations
by independent journalists have been made possible due to the operations conducted by the Cyber Partisans.

What are the goals of the Cyber Partisans?To overthow the dictatorship regime of Lukashenko. To preserve the independence and territorial integrity of Belarus. To stabilize Belarus during the transition period, returning to democratic principles of governance and rule of law.

How do the Cyber Partisans choose targets for attacks?Attacks are intended to minimize harm to ordinary citizens and maximize to regime's people. Targets are selected in a manner that genuinely damages dictaroship regimes or acquires important information that aids in causing such damage. We do not operate on systems unrelated to dictatorship regimes. We work within our means. Not all networks can be accessed. However, the more people and resources we have, the broader the range of targets available to us. Within the group, we define a common strategy. Periodically, we gather and prioritize goals based on the current political climate. Our hacktivists then work in line with the approved strategy.

Can one order a cyberattack, hack, or information search from you?We do not accept commercial orders. All targets for attacks are chosen in a way that brings us closer to achieving the organization's main goals.

How do you assist journalists?Thanks to hacks on structures supporting the dictators Lukashenko and Putin, the Cyber Partisans have obtained a vast amount of databases and documents. This information sheds light on the crimes of dictatorship regimes in Belarus and Russia. All data, which do not compromise the confidentiality and safety of ordinary citizens, are handed over upon request for journalistic investigations.

Is it safe to install Partisan Telegram for communication?Partisan Telegram has undergone an independent security audit. Moreover, the application offers the maximum possible settings to disguise itself as the original Telegram. For activists' safety, we have also implemented a passwordless mode feature. If this option is activated, the application does not prompt for the code-password, which could raise suspicion among law enforcement and intelligence personnel. However, Partisan Telegram can be identified through a detailed forensic analysis of the device. We recommend considering this before installing the application.

Do the Cyber Partisans provide paid services?All organizations, activists, and individuals adhering to democratic principles can expect our free assistance that aligns with our principles.

What financial resources does the group have?The primary source of funds is financial assistance from private donors who care about the fate of Belarus. Any assistance is valuable and propels us toward achieving our main goals.
