Ukrainian State Agencies, Including Energy Firm and Postal Service, Hit by Cyberattacks

The cyberattacks, suspected to be part of ongoing digital aggression from Russian hackers, targeted a prominent data center and disrupted IT systems.

Multiple Ukrainian state agencies, including the state-owned energy company Naftogaz, reported cyberattacks affecting their IT systems and ability to communicate with the public.
The cyberattacks appear to be the result of a hack on a prominent data center in Ukraine that the agencies rely on.
A user on a cybercrime forum posted a for-sale ad for data purportedly stolen from the Ukrainian data center, though the authenticity of the data could not be verified.
Ukrainian infrastructure has been under near-constant cyberattacks from Russian hackers since the start of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago.
Russian government-funded groups have also launched cyberattacks on the resources of the Ministry of Defense, using phishing and malware to block access to websites and obtain personal and confidential user data.
