"Ukraine Claims it Paralyzed Russia’s Tax System"
According to Ukraine, they have effectively crippled Russia's tax system. The country's Ministry of Defense said its Defence Intelligence unit (GUR) conducted a "special operation" leading to the compromise of central servers of Russia's Federal Taxation Service (FTS) and over 2300 regional servers. These extended across Russia and annexed territories in Ukraine, including Crimea. The GUR noted that both these servers and those belonging to FTS contractor Office.ed-it.ru were reportedly infected with malware that wiped essential configuration files.
