Ukraine’s HUR disrupts Russian Tax Service, erases entire database, full recovery impossible
The New Voice of Ukraine Tue, December 12, 2023 at 10:50 AM EST
Cyber experts from the Ukrainian military’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) have successfully attacked the Russian Federal Tax System and the IT company Office.ed-it.ru. The “paralysis” in the operation of the Russian system will persist for at least a month, with full recovery impossible, the HUR stated on Dec. 12.
The operation took place a few days ago. Military intelligence operatives infiltrated the central server of the tax system and over 2,300 of its regional servers throughout Russia and occupied Crimea.
The servers were infected with malware, and both the main database and its backup copies were completely destroyed, the HUR said.
The HUR previously reported a successful cyber operation related to Rosaviatsiya, which resulted in obtaining a significant volume of classified documents, on Nov. 23.
Earlier on Dec. 12, news broke about a massive cyber attack on Kyivstar. Ukraine’s SBU Security Service opened a criminal investigation, suspecting the involvement of the Russian intelligence services.
Kyivstar’s Director, Oleksandr Komarov, stated that the definitive timeline for restoring communication remains unclear.

Looks like the clowns did it,if true.
After nearly 2 years of this, the Ukrainians really must be retarded. Everything they try some new front on the war, the Ruskies find a way to retaliate on a new front with massive interest. These people are stupid, all they've done is ramp up (again) the support within the Russian population for deleting Ukraine from the map. Stupid fucking Nazis.
Why are governments, particularly those under sanctions, still using any Microsoft products? They rarely write viruses for Linux, because most of the corporate world uses Windows and Office.
Don't think for a moment that linux is invulnerable. Just because it's not popular doesn't mean there aren't holes or viruses.

See story repeated on the Kiev Independent, which is a propaganda rag.
