A group of hacktivists called the Belarusian Cyber Partisans have been attempting to sell a nonfungible token (NFT) featuring the purported passport info of Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko.
The Belarusian Cyber Partisans say the move is part of a grassroots fundraising campaign to fight “bloody regimes in Minsk and Moscow.”
The members claim to have hacked into a government database that has the passport info of every Belarusian citizen, allowing them to launch an NFT collection called "Belarisuan Passports," which includes a digital passport that supposedly features Lukashenko’s actual information.
The hackers on Twitter said they attempted to sell the NFT collection on Lukashenko’s birthday on Aug. 30 via the OpenSea marketplace, however, stated that the sale was promptly shut down, and is now looking at other options.
