Ukrainian Cyberattack: Russian Hackers Disrupt Cellular and Internet Services

Ukrainian civilians are experiencing widespread cellular phone and internet outages for the second day in a row after a cyberattack, believed to be carried out by Russian hackers, targeted Kyivstar, the country's largest mobile phone and internet provider. Two hacking groups with ties to the Russian government have claimed responsibility for the attack, which has disrupted various services including street lights, credit card payments, and air alert systems. Kyivstar's website remains unavailable, and the restoration of all services is expected to take time. The attack is one of the most significant compromises on a civilian telecommunications provider and one of the most disruptive incidents in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
