Cyber specialists of the Security Service of Ukraine and Kyivstar specialists in cooperation with other government agencies continue to work to restore the network after yesterday’s hacker attack.
Other companies involved in the restoration of the IT infrastructure are Microsoft, Cisco and Ericsson.
According to preliminary estimates, it is planned to restore fixed-line internet for households on December 13, as well as launch mobile communications and the internet. The SBU notes:
“Kyivstar’s digital infrastructure has been critically damaged, so it will take time to restore all services in compliance with the necessary security protocols.”
One of the Russian pseudo-hacker groups has already claimed responsibility for the attack. It is a hacker unit of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (better known as the GRU), which is thus publicly legalizing the results of its criminal activities.
The Security Service of Ukraine continues to document the Russian cyberattack on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure as another war crime of the racists.
