Russian hackers carried out a large-scale DDoS attack on the websites of Ukrainian telecom operators.

The aggressor continues to attack the Ukrainian infrastructure not only with shells and missiles, but also with the help of cyber attacks. On the Day of Victory over Fascism, enemy hackers launched a large-scale DDoS attack on the websites of Ukraine’s leading telecommunications companies.

This is stated in the message of the State Service for Special Communications.

“The Russians no longer even try to hide their actions and post reports of attacks on the Internet. There is no point in hiding – the whole world knows who has been masquerading as anonymous cyber attackers all this time,” the report says.

Despite the partial inaccessibility of the sites of some of the attacked companies, the networks operate without interruption. For some users, there may be a slight deterioration in the quality of Internet access. But in general, this DDoS attack did not actually affect the work of companies or the provision of services to their consumers. This once again testifies to the effective cyber defense systems that the Ukrainian representatives of the telecom business managed to build.

“The likely purpose of the cyberattack is to use it to conduct another information and psychological operation against the inhabitants of Ukraine. Russian criminals are once again trying to deprive Ukrainians of access to the Internet and truthful information, to sow panic,” the State Special Communications Service said in a statement.

Now experts are taking all measures to reduce the impact of an enemy DDoS attack.

Recall that Russia was behind a massive cyber attack on the satellite Internet network in Ukraine, due to which thousands of modems were disconnected at the beginning of the war.
