"Ukrainian Mobile Operator Targeted in Devastating Cyberattack, Disrupting Banking and Air Raid Systems"

A major cyberattack on Ukraine's largest mobile operator, Kyivstar, disrupted banking services and the regional air raid warning system. The attack, potentially orchestrated by Russian special services, damaged Kyivstar's IT infrastructure, leading to network shutdowns. The incident is being investigated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), and the impact of the attack is considered one of the most effective on critical infrastructure in Ukraine since Russia's invasion. Russian state-backed hackers have previously targeted Ukrainian critical infrastructure alongside physical attacks. Despite the fog of war, Ukraine's cyber defenses have proven resilient.
