Ukraine concluded ‘one of the largest cyberattacks’ against Russia.
Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) on July 30 finished a week-long massive cyberattack against Russia’s financial institutions, telecommunications providers, and other targets.
The wide-reaching DDoS campaign began on July 23 and disrupted the services of Russia’s top banks, payment systems, social networks and messengers, government websites, and more. Russian media widely reported on the problems experienced by users across the country.
The source in the agency called it “one of the largest DDoS attacks on russian internet infrastructure in history.”
VTB, Raiffeisen Bank, Alfa Bank, Sberbank, Gazprombank, and russia’s central bank were among the targeted institutions. The targeted institutions did not manage to fully restore their services as of July 30, 7 p.m. local time.
“All the targets were supporting or financing (Russia’s) armed aggression against Ukraine in one way or another.”
Earlier in July, GUR claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on nearly 100 Russian websites that support the Kremlin’s war effort. The attack took the sites offline and replaced their homepages with a picture of a bloody pig’s head.
A large-scale cyberattack in late June left at least 250,000 consumers in occupied Crimea and other Russian-controlled territories without communication.
