Massive cyberattack hits Ukrainian gov't websites as West warns on Russia conflict

Ukraine was hit by a major cyberattack on the night of Jan. 13-14, crashing many government websites, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Veterans Affairs, State Emergency Service, Cabinet of Ministers, Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Education and Science.
The website of Diia, Ukraine’s e-governance website and app which allows Ukrainians to access their digital documents like passports and driving licenses, was also down on the morning of Jan. 14. The message on the website said it was under maintenance. The Diia app worked normally.
The content of the sites was not changed, and no personal data was leaked, said the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine in a statement.
By 9 a.m. on Jan. 14, the targeted websites were down, but initially hackers replaced their homepages with a threatening message addressed to Ukrainians.
According to screenshots shared in the media, threats in three languages – Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish – were published on some of the government’s websites.
The message claimed that the personal data of Ukrainians was “uploaded to the web” and became public, a claim that couldn’t be verified.
“Be scared and expect the worst,” the message reads.

Massive cyberattack hits Ukrainian gov't websites as West warns on Russia conflict
Russian interference .
We need an investigation.
Impeach Trump.
I'm hoping the Russians are about to expose the relationship between Ukraine and the Bidens and the Obama administration.
One can dream...
Ukraine WANTS Nato to act......I wouldn’t believe a thing Ukraine says. However if true nothing we read is going to be how it is.
Deep State actors at it again. They want a war
Could be youngsters once again trying to make trouble.
Data at risk of theft. Need a Mark on the Body.
Deep Luciferian state.
Says the troll whose getting all hot and bothered to spam the forum in the next few days with non-stop Russian propaganda, if Russia invades!
Yeah, the Deep State is actually goading Ukraine to attack defenseless Russia. The massive army gathering at their borders is a mirage setup by the DOD.
In your dreams! Such an expose would probably find Biden knee-deep in "oligarchs" who are Pro-Russian allies. If memory serves, I believe the number was 60-70% of Ukrainian Oligarchs have KGB codenames, likely got their wealth from the KGB, and are either Pro-Russian or are intent on subverting Ukraine for their Russkie masters.
Biden will do nothing if Ukraine is invaded, even as we'll get non-stop trolling on this forum from a select-few telling us it's all part of a conspiracy by the Deep State to start WW3!
Hunter’s interest payment from pipilelines must have been unpaid. Time to paint.
The entire world, less China, Iran and NKorea is united against Russia.
Putin is the dumbest busted we’ve seen in many years. The Russian people will pay the price.
World War IV will make a great distraction from Joe and Pete’s supply chain disaster. /Shiny side out
Hope I’m wrong.
If you continue to troll me with insulting remarks you can expect similar in return.....you consistently thumb anyone who doesn’t agree with your worn out and old fashioned Cold War mindset. Just as those old geezers do in our military who get in the way of what those with solutions could otherwise implement....just as they have stated.
I realize you were somehow wounded by Russians in the past but this is here and now. So just put it away and move on.
Since a large percentage of ransomware hackers and other digital criminals work in Ukraine, I do not care.
In fact, I hope they enjoy their home cooking.
Oh that’s funny because its true!
Ukraine cooperates with the US and Interpol to catch and convict hackers. Russia, on the other hand not only refuses to allow extradition of hackers but is also the number one country behind state sponsored hacking.

"Ransomware gang arrested in Ukraine"
The arrests were made on 28 September as a result of global law enforcement cooperation involving the French National Gendarmerie, the Ukrainian National Police and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), INTERPOL and Europol.

A massive cyberattack on Ukraine’s government websites was carried out from Russian territory, according to a study conducted by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security.
As reported by Censor.NET.
“On the night of January 13-14, a cyberattack hit a number of government websites - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Emergency Service, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Sports, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. Contrary to the allegations of the attackers, no data, including personal data, was leaked. The Diia app runs smoothly, all registers are securely protected. A number of government websites have been suspended as a precaution,” the statement said.
It says that according to the study, the first data suggest that the attack was carried out from Russian territory. This is not the first time that Ukrainian websites have been exposed to attacks since the beginning of Russia’s military aggression, and some cyberattacks have been so widespread that they have become part of the world’s textbooks for cyber specialists. The purpose of such attacks is to destabilize the internal situation in the country and to sow chaos and despair in society.

“There has been no massive attack on government agencies for a long time. We assume that the current one is related to Russia’s recent defeat in the talks on Ukraine’s future cooperation with NATO. Moscow has recently resumed military exercises near Ukraine’s borders. Cyberattacks on Ukraine’s government agencies may also be part of this psychological attack on Ukrainians,” the ministry said.

Great article
Projection is thy middle name, little troll! Why don't you go play victim on some Russian forum instead of harassing innocent FReepers with your "Ukrainians Nazis! NATO/USA BAD! Russia Christian and Strong Nation" bullshit?
