Ukrainian intelligence has once again gained full access to the computers and servers of the self-proclaimed authorities of the temporarily occupied Crimea, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.
The operation resulted in the acquisition of over 100 TB of intelligence data. This includes official correspondence from the so-called head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, as well as working documents and correspondence between ministries and services of the occupying government of Crimea.
“The data obtained includes a large number of documents on the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions,” the source said.
These are lists of minors who were taken by the occupying authorities to the territory of Crimea and Russia. The documents contain personal data of children, information about their guardians, places of residence, and education. The information obtained has been forwarded to law enforcement agencies for investigation of war crimes.
Ukrainian intelligence also obtained data related to the so-called SVO (special military operation, as Russian propaganda calls the war against Ukraine). These are lists of Russian military personnel with personal data and information about relatives, lists of prisoners and the deceased, and decisions on the payment of so-called “funeral allowances.” The materials also contain statements from SVO participants requesting land plots in Crimea.
Some documents testify to numerous meetings of the occupying authorities and confirm the shortage of fuel and lubricants after strikes on Russian oil refineries.
“This is the second successful intrusion into the servers of the occupying authorities of Crimea in recent months,” a source in the Defense Intelligence reported.
After the previous operation, representatives of the FSB came to the “gauleiter of Crimea” Aksyonov and his subordinates to find the mole, but they did not succeed.
In July this year, cyber experts from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine carried out a large-scale special operation against the occupying authorities in Crimea. A powerful DDoS attack effectively paralyzed information systems and network infrastructure in Crimea.
