Nestlé, which is to stop selling KitKats and other brands in Russia, says corporate data leaked online this week by Anonymous was not stolen nor all that useful.

Nestlé told The Register the data is not real or sensitive, wasn't stolen, and was accidentally leaked by itself via one of its own websites.

"This claim of a cyber-attack against Nestlé and subsequent data leak has no foundation," a spokesperson for the biz told us.

It does seem to be, as Nestlé said, test data rather than a full-blown internal leak.

The global food-equivalent giant's stance on Russia came a few days after Anonymous called on "All companies" to halt sales and operations in the nation "Pull out of Russia! We give you 48 hours to reflect and withdraw from Russia or else you will be under our target!" the group tweeted, along with an image showing logos of more than 40 brands including Nestlé, Burger King, Cloudflare, and Citrix.

Leaked 10GB data of emails, passwords, Nestlé business costumers, etc.
