Hackers from the DIU attacked one of the largest internet service providers in the RF

Cyber specialists from the Cyber Corps of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine conducted a large-scale attack on the IT infrastructure of one of the largest private companies in Russia. The company in question is "Filanco," which provides internet services and hosting to over 20,000 clients, including major operators such as "Beeline," MGTS, 24tv, as well as Russian security structures.

As a result of the attack, equipment was disabled, and data was destroyed. This was reported to OBOZ.UA by their own sources.

The cyberattack resulted in the disabling of 600 virtual machines, 24 hypervisors, the destruction of about 800 terabytes of data, 11 physical servers, and 74 connectors for remote monitoring in the data center.

Additionally, 12 terabytes of sensor data, five physical servers in the company’s office, and another 5 terabytes of information stored on them were destroyed.

Cyber intelligence operatives also disabled 3100 units of network equipment, including 37 service routers and core and edge routers.

It is reported that Ukrainian specialists even "emptied" the company’s electronic wallets in its personal account to the amount of 1.3 million US dollars.

Apart from the technical attack, an informational strike was also carried out - on the website where "emergency kits" were sold for Russian security forces, hackers replaced the content with photos of destroyed Russian occupiers in Ukraine.
