Ukrainian hackers, along with the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), have breached the website of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Russia, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.
The hacking group BLACKJACK successfully hacked the site in collaboration with SSU cyber experts. The hackers gained access to a significant amount of classified information, including:
- Statistics on the so-called "special military operation",
- Personal data of military personnel,
- Reports addressed to the President of the Russian Federation,
- Information on the number of prosthetics.
The obtained information also pertains to the temporarily occupied regions of the Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions and their current "leadership."
"Now the Security Service will have a lot of new documents to study. After downloading the necessary information, the hackers erased over 100 terabytes of data from the ministry's servers," said the source.
Russian cyber attacks on Ukraine
Earlier, Russian hackers were attempting to compromise the phones of Ukrainians through the Signal messenger.
Recently, it was revealed that Russian hackers conducted a cyberattack on Ukraine's energy system last year, co-occurring with a large-scale shelling of the energy infrastructure by Russian forces.
The Security Service of Ukraine also reported that Ukrainian cyber experts thwarted Russian special services' attempts to access the electronic planning system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
