Latest news about SDEK May 29
SDEK is slowly coming back to life after the hack. The site was partially operational, and the application showed the first signs of life. However, the situation is very far from being completely corrected. The infrastructure has not yet been restored. Moreover, according to information security experts, Ukrainian hackers are still sitting on the internal network and interfering. Even after recovery, they could theoretically return through the vulnerability they hid and destroy everything again. Experts have already estimated the damage from the failure at up to one billion rubles. But it does not include reputational losses.
The CEO and controlling shareholder of SDEK, 55-year-old Leonid Goldort, spoke out only on the third day of the hack.
Apparently, SDEK will not begin to fully operate this week.

At the end of last year it became known that 55-year-old Leonid Goldort left Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) and settled in Tel Aviv, Israel. In one of the public pages for repatriates, he was very worried whether he would now be allowed to leave the lesse pass (as the Israeli passport is called) into the United Arab Emirates – they did.
If you believe Leonid Goldort’s social networks, then in February 2022 he was in Novosibirsk and had no intention of moving anywhere. Let us note that during the first month of SVO, both Goldort’s sons and wife were simultaneously added to the “Relocation Israel 2022” group.

By information business press, the millionaire has long wanted to sell his 55.44% stake in the courier service CDEK (a legal entity of SDEK-Global with revenues of over 35 billion rubles). At the same time, Leonid Goldort set strict conditions: firstly, after the transaction, he should be completely freed from any participation in the business, and secondly, the potential buyer should not be under sanctions. According to rumors, many holdings were interested in purchasing a controlling stake in SDEK. Details are kept secret for now. Most likely, the situation with the hacking of the company’s website will harm the future deal. Either it will fail, or it will have to be sold at a large discount. Perhaps this was the plan of the true masterminds of the hack.
When the sale takes place, Leonid Goldort will remain the owner of the capital's Fininvest company, which controls 40% in the Novosibirsk construction company SZ Rumer. It became famous for the repeated postponements of the commissioning of the Griboedov residential complex, where over two hundred shareholders could not move in for a whole year. There were problems with the next project; the developer was then accused of destruction of a public road And unlawful receipt building permits. The income of SZ Rumera was over 517 million rubles last year.
