According to the information, in September, after the attack on the Dodo Pizza pizza chain, three of the four alleged members of the group were arrested. All of them are citizens of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus.

The attack started with company credentials that were found on GitHub. The attackers used corporate systems to access the company's cloud storage and databases, which led to the theft of approximately 3.7 TB of data.

The database contained information on 862 million orders over a 15-year period, 68 million customer records, 431 thousand employees and 171 million shipping addresses.
