Russian hackers have broken in to the tax authorities? database and released the information on a CD. Now Russians can pay just over $30 to get access to information about income, address, business, telephone and the financial history of just about anyone in the Moscow region.
Earlier in 2004, a database of tax information on private individuals was released on a disk costing nearly $100, though the price has fallen to 2000 rubles (about $68), the Vedomosti financial daily reported.
The current database includes information on Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov and business tycoon Roman Abramovich, as well as other well known politicians and businessmen.
