Russia Blamed for Massive Cyberattack on Ukraine's State Registries

Ukraine accuses Russian GRU hackers of targeting critical infrastructure, disrupting Ministry of Justice systems.

Ukraine experienced its largest external cyberattack in recent history, targeting state registries under the Ministry of Justice.
Ukrainian officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna, attributed the attack to Russian intelligence-linked hackers, specifically GRU operatives.
The attack temporarily disrupted the operation of registries containing crucial citizen data, including records of births, deaths, marriages, and property ownership.
Restoration efforts are underway, with some services expected to resume shortly, though full recovery may take up to two weeks.
Ukraine plans to conduct a thorough analysis of the attack to strengthen defenses against future cyber threats.
