How did the changes in data access policies in 2022 and 2023 contribute to the potential severity of this data breach?

The alleged breach raises concerns about the security of sensitive personal data in Russia. The hackers' claim of 2 billion records, partially verified by a news outlet, suggests a potentially massive compromise. This follows restrictions on data access introduced in 2022 and 2023, limiting public access to ownership information which was previously used by journalists investigating corruption.
