The aggressor continues to attack Ukrainian infrastructure not only with bullets and missiles, but also with the help of cyberattacks. On Victory Day, attackers launched a large-scale DDoS attack on the websites of Ukraine’s leading telecommunications companies.
The Russians no longer even try to hide their actions and post reports of attacks on the Internet. There’s no point in hiding – the whole world knows who’s been posing as anonymous cybercriminals all this time.
Despite the partial unavailability of the sites of some of the attacked companies, their networks are working without interruption. Some users may experience a slight deterioration in the quality of their Internet access. However, in general, neither the work of the companies nor the service delivery to their customers was affected by this DDoS attack. This testifies once again to the effective cybersecurity systems that Ukrainian telecom business representatives have managed to install.
The probable purpose of the cyber attack is to use it to carry out another informational and psychological operation against the Ukrainian people. To create panic, Russian criminals are once again trying to deprive Ukrainians of access to the Internet and accurate information. Currently, experts are taking all measures to mitigate the impact of a hostile DDoS attack. Source
