Cyber specialists from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine attacked the infrastructure of the Russian companies Gazprom and Gazpromneft. The operation was dedicated to the memory of the Remembrance Day of Kruty Heroes, the source says.
According to a source at RBC-Ukraine, on the anniversary of the Kruty heroic deeds, a cyber group of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine launched a DDOS attack on the digital infrastructure of the Russian companies Gazprom and Gazpromneft. In particular, the online services of enterprises that support the activities of the Russian occupation army were cyberattacked.
Thus, since January 28, the companies' clients have been unable to use their accounts, use the company's online services, pay for fuel using fuel cards, write off or accumulate bonuses to their accounts, etc.
At the same time, Gazprom representatives responded to customer complaints by saying that there was a temporary technical failure but did not explain the reasons or the weapon used.
Russian companies do not say when online services might be restored.
“Today's problems of Russian drivers are a greeting from our brothers from 1918, the heroes of the battle of Kruty, who over a hundred years ago gave a drag to the criminal Russian gangs of the drug addict Muravyov. Today we continue the work of the then-defenders of Kyiv both at the front and in cyberspace. Glory to Ukraine!” DIU comments.
Other DIU cyberattacks
In the summer of 2024, the DIU launched a large-scale cyberattack on the Russian financial sector. The attack lasted for a week, affecting Russian banks and Russian government resources.
Also, on the birthday of the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, a Ukrainian intelligence cyber group attacked the Russian company RegionTransService. It provides services to the Russian railroad.
