The Security Service of Ukraine involved its cyber experts in the team to restore the Kyivstar operator’s network after yesterday’s hacker attack. They will cooperate with “Kyivstar” specialists and other state bodies.
According to preliminary calculations, on December 13, it is planned to restore the service of providing fixed Internet access for households, as well as start the launch of mobile communication and the Internet.
The digital infrastructure of “Kyivstar” was critically damaged, so it will take time to restore all services in compliance with the necessary security protocols.
One of the Russian pseudo-hacker groups has already claimed responsibility for the attack. It is a hacking unit of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (known as the game), which, in this way, publicly legalizes the results of its criminal activities.
The SBU continues to document Russia’s cyber attack on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure as yet another war crime.
