Hackers from the Blackjack group carried out a powerful cyber operation, probably with the support of SBU cyber specialists, destroying Rosvodokanal’s IT infrastructure.

A source from law enforcement informed Ukrinform about this.

During the attack, they encrypted more than 6,000 computers and deleted more than 50 TB of data: internal document flow, corporate mail, cyber protection services, backup copies, etc. Now the work of “Rosvodokanal” is blocked.

According to sources, the SBU is analyzing 1.5 TB of data downloaded from Rosvodokanal, the largest Russian private company, which currently provides water to 7 million consumers.

As Ukrinform reported, on the morning of December 12, the operator “Kyivstar” became the target of a powerful hacker attack, which led to a technical malfunction. Communication and internet access services became unusable.
