Moscow Court Places Dodo Pizza Cyberattack Suspect Denis Fridman Under House Arrest Until 2026

The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow has ordered Denis Fridman to remain under house arrest until December 8, 2026, in connection with a cyberattack on Dodo Pizza that occurred in late September. Fridman faces charges under paragraphs a and v of part 3 of Article 272.1 of the Russian Criminal Code, which covers the illegal circulation of computer information containing personal data. Investigators detained three of the four suspects after Fridman failed to mask his real IP address while accessing the stolen dataset. The breach lasted two days, but Dodo Pizza quickly blocked access and confirmed that payment details were not compromised because the company does not store them. Authorities notified Roskomnadzor of the incident and implemented measures to forcibly terminate active user sessions where necessary. House arrest remains a preventive measure, and Fridman’s guilt has not yet been established by the court.

The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow has placed Denis Fridman under house arrest until 8 December 2026 in connection with a cyberattack on Dodo Pizza. He is charged under paragraphs “a” and “v” of part 3 of Article 272.1 of the Russian Criminal Code, which addresses the illegal circulation of computer information containing personal data.

According to the press service of the Moscow courts, law enforcement officers have detained three of the four suspects linked to the incident that took place at the end of September. Investigators were able to identify the group after Fridman accessed the stolen data array without concealing his real IP address. The court emphasized that house arrest is only a preventive measure and does not constitute a verdict; Fridman’s guilt must still be proven in court.

Dodo Pizza reported that the attacks continued for two days, although the company quickly blocked unauthorized access. Payment credentials were not affected because the company does not store them. The incident was reported to Roskomnadzor, and additional protective measures, including the forced termination of user sessions, have been implemented.
