According to the Belarusian Cyber Partisans, this action is being taken as part of a grassroots funding effort to resist "bloody governments in Minsk and Moscow."

The members say that they were able to develop the "Belarisuan Passports

" NFT collection by hacking

into a government database that stores the passport information of every Belarusian resident. This collection includes a digital passport that purportedly has Lukashenko's authentic information. Now the cybercriminals are attempting to sell the passport of the leader of Belarus as a form of NFT.

As a result of an error that was made on the first page of the digital passport including the phrase "Republic" and a misspelling of the name "Aleksandr," some observers have suggested that the information contained therein is fraudulent.

The hackers have suggested on Twitter that they made an attempt to sell the NFT collection on August 30, which is Lukashenko's birthday, via the OpenSea marketplace. However, the auction was swiftly stopped, and the hackers have stated that they are presently evaluating new opportunities.

"Today is the dictator's birthday; please help us make life miserable for him!" Today is the day to acquire our work of art. A one-time offer of a New Belarus passport to Lukashenko, even though he is currently imprisoned."

The effort allegedly broke corporate standards on "doxxing" and "exposing personal identifying information about another individual without the consent of that individual," according to a representative for OpenSea.

The Belarusian Cyber Partisans have made it clear that they intend to offer non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that contain the passport information of further government officials who are close to Lukashenko.

"We also give passports of his closest allies and traitors of the people of Belarus and Ukraine," the statement continued. "We offer these passports to you for free." The entirety of the donations will be put toward supporting the group's efforts to "strike brutal regimes in #minsk and #moscow," the organization wrote.

Lukashenko is a contentious figure who has held the presidency of Belarus since the nation's inception in 1994. In spite of the fact that he was elected on the promise of eliminating corruption, he has been accused in the past by organizations such as the Organize Crime and Corruption Reporting Project of "rigging elections, torturing critics, and detaining and assaulting protestors."

The hacktivists assert that they are vehemently opposed to what they consider to be a corrupt dictatorship run by Lukashenko, who has also infuriated the group by backing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In addition, the organization claims that Lukashenko has supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Belarusian Cyber Partisans launched a wider fundraising campaign in February under the moniker "Resistance Movement of Belarus," with the intention of eventually wresting power away from Lukashenko and placing it in the hands of their own self-defense forces. Donations to the campaign are almost exclusively accepted in the form of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC).

"We, the free inhabitants of Belarus, refuse to submit to this state and create the self-defence as a people's response to the terror that has been let loose," the statement read. "The overthrow of the authoritarian dictatorship is our ultimate objective," the group stated in their writing.
