Background

Sources from RBC-Ukraine reported that on September 7, specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate conducted a cyberattack on several Russian resources. This coincided with Ukraine's Military Intelligence Day.

It was noted that this cyberattack is a continuation of a series of breaches of enemy web resources and servers. However, this time, Ukrainian cyber specialists also "greeted" the Russians on Military Intelligence Day by posting a relevant e-card on the targeted resources.
