Seems very dubious, new accounts in the comments urging people to download it ( u/Sonnigeszeug) all the 'sources' go back to the same file, claims it is on torrent trackers yet providing no evidence for? A very sensational article with no proof and if it was true downloading russian government data with no idea whats in it? the sweetest of honey right here

I am sure the other reports from the website are very real: https://archive.ph/8RGAb

Most people have absolutely no way to handle a 10TB file, anyway. Even 1TB csv files can be a challenge. Need to use DuckDB or chunk it somehow.

A lot of ways to hide nasty surprises in such a file, too.

Pack it into a nice executable "csv" and you've got baby's first malware

Dude... i'm a software engineere in germany.

I create new accounts because i spend too much time on hn...

I suggest to download stuff because i assume people on HN are well equiped to check it out.

Click yourself some cheap vm in the cloud, download it, check it out. Cost involved? $10

Do you expect journalists with less it knowledge to do this? I mean yeah they can and should but people on hn should do too

Fake German detected. A true one would write "I'M A Software Engineer In Germany".

they said he is a software engineer in germany. they didn't say they are from germany.
