On the anniversary of the Kruty Heroes’ feat, a cyber group of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine launched a DDoS attack on the digital infrastructure of Russian companies Gazprom and Gazpromneft, Ukrinform reports, citing intelligence sources.
Cyber specialists targeted the online services of companies that support the Russian army.
In particular, since 28 January, the companies’ customers have been unable to access their personal accounts, use the companies’ online services, pay for fuel using fuel cards, or accumulate and redeem bonuses.
In response to customer complaints, Gazprom representatives reported a “temporary technical failure,”but did not explain the cause or when the services might be restored.
“Today’s problems for Russian drivers are a greeting from our brothers of 1918, the heroes of the Battle of Kruty, who over a hundred years ago gave the criminal Russian gangs of the drug addict Muravyov a run for their money. Today, we continue the work of the then defenders of Kyiv both at the front and in cyberspace. Glory to Ukraine!” intelligence commented on the cyberattack.
