While news about the rising death toll, destruction and casualties in Ukraine continue to grip headlines across the world, the story being told to Russian citizens is very different. For those watching TV in the country, the weekend began like any other: chat shows, old movies and regular programmes.

Reports of online abuse directed toward women and girls — along with LGBTQ and nonbinary people and other marginalized groups — have risen during the nearly two years of the coronavirus pandemic, studies show. Even as governments grapple with a growing impetus to regulate behemoth social media companies and stop cybercrimes, this overarching fact of life online — that women and girls face a heightened risk of abuse and harassment — is often missing from legislative efforts for change, anti-abuse activists say.

Independent experts from NYU, UMass Amherst, Columbia, Marquette, and the ACLU are partnering with Gizmodo to responsibly publish this historic leak.

YOU’VE PROBABLY NEVER heard of White House Market. Google can't find it. Its vendors don't advertise much. The few public references to the website are on Reddit forums or specialty tech blogs.

You took your item home, and once you paid it off, that thing belonged to you. It was yours. You could do whatever you wanted with it. That’s not how it is today, and by 2030, technology will have advanced to the point that even the idea of owning objects might be obsolete.

In 2021, cybercrime is a normal part of everyday life. But back in the early days of the internet—that is, the 1980s and ‘90s—the hacker was a bizarre new phenomenon that the American public had never encountered before. Many of the trailblazers of this trend weren’t cynical criminals but rather bespectacled teenagers—unadulterated nerds with a penchant for using their advanced computer powers to cause mischief.
