The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated about a successful attack on almost a hundred Russian web resources. Companies serving clients from the Russian public sector, which are involved in waging war against Ukraine, came under attack.
On July 15, Ukrainian intelligence together with “cyber volunteers” attacked approximately 100 Russian websites. The goal of the cyberattack was to destroy internal information of companies. As of July 16, 39 of the attacked sites have not yet recovered.
In particular, the websites of the following companies came under cyber attack:
- MITgroup is a group of companies engaged in the development of corporate websites.
- The Perm Spraying Plant is an enterprise that manufactures and supplies lifting equipment for industrial facilities.
- United Crane Technologies is a trading and manufacturing company that manufactures lifting equipment.
- “RUMOS-LADA” is a dealer of LADA cars.
Due to the actions of hackers, instead of the usual sections, only the image of a pig’s head and the error code “404” are visible on these sites.
This cyber attack became part of the large-scale actions of Ukrainian intelligence aimed at reducing the effectiveness of Russian state structures and their partners that support military actions against Ukraine.
