Banks, stock exchanges and insurance companies: Ukrainian IT army attacked more than 800 Russian resources in a week

The Ministry of Digital Development has published another weekly report on the success of the IT army on the digital front.

What is known

From May 23 to May 29, more than 800 Russian online resources were attacked. Namely:

  • Banks. Clients of many Russian banks were unable to use online banking.
  • microfinance organizations. Due to the attacks, microcredits were unavailable.
  • Exchanges. To withstand the pressure of cyber attacks and continue to function, Russian exchanges had to disable access abroad.
  • RuStore. Following the exchanges behind the geoblock, the RuStore app store hid from DDoS attacks (Russian analogue of Google Play). 
  • Insurance companies. Attacks put online services for insurance.
  • Russian media. Traditionally, it was more difficult for Russians to use Kremlin propaganda on weekends due to cyberattacks on the websites of regional media and TV channels.
