Ukraine has some “preliminary indications” that Russia may be involved in a massive cyber-attack on several Ukrainian ministries.
“Ukraine’s security service has received some initial indications” that hacker groups linked to Russia’s secret services may be responsible for the attack, Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said on Twitter.
A total of 70 government websites were targeted in the attacks on Thursday night, the SBU said in a statement. Their contents “were not modified and there was no leakage of personal data”, the SBU assured.
The websites of many services, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were not accessible today.
Ukraine has been targeted by hackers several times in recent years, with attacks attributed to Russia, such as in 2017, against various critical infrastructure and in 2015, against an electricity transmission network.
