Ukrainian hackers took creative revenge for Kyivstar by destroying Rosvodokanal’s IT infrastructure
Hackers of the Blackjack group, allegedly with the support of SBU cyber specialists, carried out a powerful cyber operation and destroyed the IT infrastructure of Rosvodokanal.
This is reported by a number of Telegram channels and Urinform with reference to sources in law enforcement agencies.
During the attack, they encrypted more than 6,000 computers and deleted more than 50 TB of data: internal document flow, corporate mail, cybersecurity services, backups, etc. Now Rosvodokanal’s work is blocked.
According to sources, the SBU is already analyzing 1.5 TB of downloaded data from Rosvodokanal, Russia’s largest private company that provided water to 7 million consumers;
On the morning of December 12, Kyivstar, Ukraine’s largest mobile operator, became the target of a powerful hacker attack that led to a technical failure. Communication and Internet access services have become unavailable throughout Ukraine. More than 20 million Ukrainians were left without communication.
The company assured that the personal data of subscribers was not compromised. They also promised compensation to subscribers who had no connection or could not use the operator’s services.
The connection was restored only two days later.
