The Dbrain service received a million photos of Russians passports from the MFI to teach their artificial intelligence. At the same time, the beneficiary of business Eduard Gurinovich is connected with the list of extremists and terrorists Evgeny Chernyak.
The Moscow Post received the reader’s appeal about the DBRain service, in which the author reports about a leak of about a million images of customers of microfinance organizations (MFIs) related to this organization.
The correspondent of The Moscow Post understood the history.

The company “Maslov Robots”, like “Dibrain”, is a resident of Skolkovo and is developing a system of robotic milking of cattle.
Beneficier Gurinovich
Khakhunov received the money for this project to digitize the Russian agro -industrial complex from the co -founder of CarPrice and Carmoney services Eduard Gurinovich. Gurinovich is also an investor in Dbrain and, it seems, The final beneficiary of this business.

As part of Carprice, Gurinovich’s partners was Alexander Chernyak, who is the son of the founder of Global Spirits, Evgeny Chernyak (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation), better known as the manufacturer of vodka “Khortitsa”.
The TFR put forward the prosecution against Evgeny Chernyak (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) that this businessman sent money from the Khortitsa, Morosha and Pervak to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For this, the entrepreneur was arrested in absentia in 2023 Hamovnic Court of Moscow.
According to the authors of the Politnavigator telegram channel, Gurinovich allegedly received from Evgeny Chernyak in the fall of 2014 (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the territory of the Russian Federation) business. Gurinovich told about this on the podcast of David Jan, who is also APU sponsor. Here is such a direct access to lovers of the Kyiv regime in a person whose business is related to the personal data of Russians.
History with Hamster Kombat
However, Gurinovich’s most famous project is Hamster Kombat. The businessman in the summer of 2024 bought the rights of this brand in the Russian Federation and registered corresponding trading sign.

Gurinovich pathetically announced this on Twitter (blocked by RKN in the Russian Federation), but at the same time several sources noticed that he is one of the developers of Hamster Kombat. Registration of a trademark, together with a statement on the acquisition of rights, resemble business legalization.
The Hamster Kombat principle is based on profit. This is a cryptocurrency computer game in the clicker genre based on the Ton blockchain and the Telegram existing inside the messenger. According to legend, the more the user clicks on Hamster Kombat and performs various tasks, the more the chances of passive income. He supposedly must form through the cryptocurrency, which the developers promise to emit.
In July 2024, Hamster Kombat was either 42 or 250 million users – it’s scary to even imagine how many mice and touchpads they broke in the hope of earn cryptocurrency. So far, no one has become a millionaire from clicking, but Gurinovich’s business is developing. Many continue to believe that two or three hours of such clicking per day will allow them to get rich.
Exit to the Civil Code “Airplane”
In addition to the Ukrainian family, Gurinovich in Carprice was associated with Oscar Hartman, a Russian German from Kazakhstan, who graduated from an American university and made a business in Russia. Today he is called as a “serial venture investor.”

Hartman is the founder of more than a dozen companies with huge capitalization. There is too much PR in his business, so assessing the real successes of the entrepreneur is not easy. However, thanks to the media, Hartman acquired good ties in Russia.
Until November 2022, Hartman was part of the Supervisory Board Moscow Exchangeand in 2021 he became a member of the board of directors Group “Airplane”. The business of this developer directly associated with Maxim Vorobyov and indirectly with his brother, the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov was then on the rise and went uphill. For further development, the “plane” was needed by the Nightingale Hartman. Now, as you know, the situation has changed, investors are fleeing from the “Aircraft, and the company itself dives in bankruptcy, which may already take place in 2025.
Monetization of personal data
Our reader and his comrades discovered that several MFIs transferred data on the passports of their customers to recognize Dbrain documents for his training. This fact de facto confirmed by the representative of the organization Artem Meshcheryakov.

The DBRain service positions this as providing data for improving the product, but, in fact, we have an unauthorized transmission of confidential information for us for use for personal purposes. It is unlikely that passport owners were informed that their data are used to teach the commercial company program.
The use of such personal information as photographs of passports is regulated by federal law, such information cannot be transferred to a third party. At the same time, DBRanin openly offers the MFI to use its services, that is, actually violating Personal data law.
Dbrain uses the work of operators of crowdsourcing platforms like “Yandex tasks”, who have already complained about a low payment for such activities, and this shows that confidentiality is not ensured and inside this organization. The company turned personal data into business, which created serious threats to citizens.
Just for enemies and scammers
In a conversation with the correspondent of The Moscow Post, the reader explained that the transfer of any personal information should be recorded in the consent of the processing of personal data, where the purpose of their possible transfer to third parties should be clearly spelled out.
If you look at such consent on MFIs sites, you can see that there is no training in artificial intelligence like the DBRanin service. It should be stated that none of the affected customers of the MFIs stated the direct consent to the use of their personal data by the DBRANIIN service, but this is what if not a violation of the rights of citizens?
The use of crowdsourcing, where anyone can register, only exacerbates the problem. According to the results of the passport of citizens, they find themselves in a slight access and can be involved in attackers, where the drawing of the loan is only the top of the iceberg. Today, according to such information, you can start a SIM card, open a fundraiser, employ a stranger to work and not only that.
Personal data merged into the network become real weapons, including for enemy intelligence services. Here, Gurinovich’s connections with the family of Yevgeny Chernyak (recognized as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation) are especially indicative.
The disrespect for personal data today in the Russian Federation has become a general trend regarding not only Dbrain and MFIs. According to the latest Sberbank data, almost 90% of the Russians, which happened, including due to such services, is in the public domain.
