A cyber group from Military Intelligence (HUR) launched a DDoS attack on the digital infrastructure of Russian companies Gazprom and Gazprom Neft on the anniversary of the Heroes of Kruty battle, NV sources reported on Jan. 30.
This attack against Russian companies was deliberately carried out on the anniversary of the historic Battle of Kruty, a pivotal moment in Ukraine’s struggle for independence.
In late December 1917, the newly proclaimed Ukrainian People’s Republic faced open aggression from Bolshevik Russia, which sought to crush Ukraine’s declaration of independence. The Battle of Kruty on Jan. 29, 1918, symbolized Ukraine’s fierce resistance against Soviet forces, despite overwhelming odds. Today, the spirit of defiance against Russian aggression endures, with Ukrainian cyber forces targeting key Russian infrastructure as a modern tribute to the heroes of Kruty.
The cyberattack specifically targeted online services of enterprises that support the Russian occupying army.
Since Jan. 28, Gazprom customers have been unable to access their personal accounts, use the company’s online services, pay for fuel with fuel cards, or accumulate and redeem bonus points on their accounts.
