Ukraine has denounced this Tuesday cyberattacks against pages of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defense and state banks, according to the Center for Information Security.
For the past few hours, Privatbank has been under a massive DoS attack (denial of service). There are also flaws in the State Savings Bank of Ukraine, or Oschadbank, and the sites of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces were also attacked, the center said in a message on its official Facebook account.
“It is possible that the aggressor has resorted to petty evil tactics seeing that their aggressive plans do not work,” the Center said in a statement mentioning the entities affected by the cyberattack.
