The alleged contact details of the alleged developers of Hydra, Russia's largest darknet drug trade site, appeared on the network . The person who leaked this information claims that he tried to negotiate a ransom with the project development team, but after unsuccessful attempts decided to publish the data.
According to an unknown person, he managed to reveal information about the people who make Hydra as a result of a prolonged DDOS attack on the site. Thanks to some code fragments, which the developers removed three hours after its appearance, the author was allegedly able to identify the administrator under the pseudonym Askold Monarkhov.
Then he found out that under this pseudonym is a citizen of Ukraine Kolesnev Bogdan Ruslanovich - a developer of trading and financial systems focused on the surfactant market. In addition to Kolesnev, according to him, the development team includes a certain Alexander Dyryavin from Chernigov, who is responsible for email, SMS and messenger marketing at SendPulse.
Details of how he managed to find the personal data of the alleged developers of "Hydra", he posted on the website hydra.expert .
" Afisha Daily " managed to get through the number that allegedly belongs to Dyryavin. The man on the other end of the line introduced himself as Denis and said that he did not know who Alexander Dyryavin was and had never heard of Hydra. He stated that he was shocked by what was happening, and that in the morning he had already received a call with similar questions. The interlocutor confirmed that he lives in Ukraine, but did not elaborate on his occupation and other details of his personal life. No one answered the second number.
A comment from the person who introduced himself as Alexander Dyryavin was received by mail. He stated that he is an ordinary ordinary developer who has never developed products and sites used in shady business. Until yesterday, he said, he did not even know about the existence of the Hydra. Other contacts listed on the site and attributed to Dyryavin, with the exception of the phone number, belong to him, the interlocutor confirmed.
The data indicated in the article are taken from open sources. The fact of my registration on some of the gitlab servers only proves that I am a developer, but not my involvement in the development of the drug trade portal. If you get access to the server indicated in the article, then my words can be checked. I have nothing more to add.

From the mailbox, which is attributed to Kolesnev, we received the following answer: “They began to use my designs on order for purposes that were not reported to me. But even so, there my developments were not used in Hydra, but in some other projects, to which I have no relation. "
