"Ukraine Claims Cyber Operation Against Russian Aviation Agency"

Ukraine's defense intelligence directorate claims to have conducted a successful cyber operation against the Russian government's civil aviation agency, Rosaviatsia. Rosaviatsia is in charge of overseeing and ensuring the safety of Russia's civil aviation industry. As a result of the hack, the agency obtained "a large volume of confidential documents," including a list of daily reports from Rosaviatsia. This appears to be the first time the Ukrainian government has accepted responsibility for a cyber operation against a Russian target. Since the Russian invasion in early 2022, pro-Ukraine groups and hacktivists have claimed several such incidents, including attacks on airlines, banks, and Internet providers. This article continues to discuss Ukraine's defense intelligence directorate claiming responsibility for a successful cyber operation against the Russian aviation agency.
