Ukrainian hackers have hit the Moscow-based critical infrastructure company Moscollector. According to LB.ua's sources, the operation was carried out by the BLACKJACK hacker group, which is close to the SSU's cyber department.
Moscollector is responsible for the operation of underground water pipes, communication cables, power cables and heating networks in Moscow. The hackers disabled 87,000 sensors of various warning systems across the city and the Moscow region.
In addition, 70 servers and at least 90 terabytes of company data (emails, backups, contracts) were destroyed.
"The operation of the Moscow critical infrastructure facility is now completely blocked, and the company cannot respond to accidents and emergencies. It will take 15 to 30 days to restore its operation," the source said.
