The DIU Cyber Corps “put” Russians’ fuel cards
The targets of the DDOS attack included, among other things, the "advanced payment systems" platform, which is responsible for the functioning of fuel cards ("Rospetrol"), as well as the servers of Rostelecom and Lukoil.
According to intelligence sources, the operation caused losses to the aggressor state in the amount of 1 to 3 million US dollars.
Also on the same day, a cyberattack was carried out on the information and communication infrastructure of the telecommunications services operator "K-Corp".
Ukrainian cyber experts disabled more than 700 switches and 13 servers in the company's two data centers, completely stopping its operations.
It is noted that the operator "K-Corp" became the target of Ukrainian hackers due to the provision of telecommunications services to the Russian defense company "Kalashnikov Concern", which is involved in the murders of hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including women and children.
In addition, experts attacked dozens of online resources, on the main pages of which congratulations on the Day of Military Intelligence of Ukraine were published.
