A Ukrainian team hackers has been set up and plans to carry out digital sabotage attacks on major Russian infrastructure such as railways, but also the electricity distribution network.
The goal is to counterattack in Moscow while raging for the 7th day o war in Ukraineas a hacker coordinator told Reuters, broadcasts APE-MPE.
Officials from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense approached Ukrainian businessmen and local cybersecurity expert Igor Uchev. to help set up a group of hackers for digital cyber defense against Russiaas previously reported by Reuters.
On Monday, Ucev said that plans to launch cyber-attacks that could disrupt any infrastructure, which helps to advance Russian military forces and weapons in Ukraine.
“Anything can stop the war. The goal is to make it impossible to transfer these weapons to our country. “
Attacks on dozens of Russian government and banking sites
He added that his team has already been shut down or renders dozens of Russian government and banking sites useless, sometimes, replacing their content with images of war violence.
Russia describes its actions in Ukraine as a “special operation” for which it says it was not designed to occupy Ukrainian territories, but to destroy Ukraine’s defense capabilities, but also to arrest those whom Moscow describes as dangerous nationalists.
A defensive follower of Ukraine in Washington declined to comment on the actions of Ustef’s group or its relationship with the country’s Ministry of Defense.
Uchev said that his team has grown to date, with the participation of more than 1,000 Ukrainians, as well as foreign volunteers. The group has already coordinated with a foreign cyber-espionage group, attacking a railway system.
Plan of attack on the railways in Belarus
Following the news of Uchev’s group, a Belarusian hacker group (the Belarusian Cyber Partisans) launches attacks in Belarus, volunteered to launch a cyber attack on Belarus railways, as they said they are used to transport Russian soldiers. The team turned off transportation systems and shut down the ticketing page, according to Bloomberg News on Sunday.
A Cyber Partisans spokeswoman told Reuters on Monday that the group had carried out the attacks, confirming its cooperation with Ucev’s group.
She said that because her team had turned off the ticket booking system, passengers can only travel by issuing paper tickets, and he sent Reuters a photo of a paper, which was a ticket and was issued by hand on Monday.
“We are fully on the side of the Ukrainians. Now they are fighting not only for their own freedom, but for ours as well. “Without an independent Ukraine, Belarus has no hope.”
Reuters could not confirm the attacks on the railway system in Belarus. The ticket website was down yesterday afternoon. A spokesman for the railways did not respond to a request for comment.
Officials at the Russian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Russian media yesterday that Russian embassies were being attacked by “Ukrainian cyber-terrorists.”
Ahead of retaliatory cyber-attacks in Moscow, Uchev said His team will help the Ukrainian armed forces to detect secret Russian groups invading cities and regions of Ukraine.
Uchev said his team had discovered a way to use cell phone tracking technology to detect and identify secret Russian military groups moving inside Ukraine, without giving further details.
The Russian military is using commercial mobile phones to communicate in Ukraine, according to multiple media reports.
