The enemy lost important data due to Ukrainian cyberattack on occupied Crimea

Ukrainian intelligence conducted a cyber operation to uncover important data on the servers of the annexed Crimea.

The Main Intelligence Directorate shared some of the facts on its social media page.

The cyber specialists of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine received further evidence of mass abduction of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Intelligence officers gained access to the servers of the so-called "government of Crimea".

The large-scale operation lasted for several days, and a powerful DDoS attack effectively paralyzed information systems and network infrastructure in Crimea.

During this time, 100 TB of data and documents were downloaded, including classified information about Russian military facilities and logistics routes for supplying Russian troops on the peninsula.

DIU specialists also penetrated the electronic offices of the Russian authorities in Crimea and gained access to such digital resources as

Dialog electronic document management system, Delo electronic document management system, 1C:Document Management, Directum and ATLAS accounting systems.

After copying the valuable information, the DIU cyber specialists destroyed all the data stored on the servers of regional and district government agencies, ministries and departments of the Russian authorities in Crimea.

Do we remember the civilians who died during war crimes committed by the Russian Federation in the first, second, third and even fourth year of the full-scale war? How can we make sure that this is not forgotten on the one hand, and not an additional pain on the other?

The scouts reported on cultural objects that the occupiers illegally appropriated and took out of Crimea during the occupation. We are talking about artifacts from archaeological sites, some of which the aggressor hides under the guise of museum exhibitions.
