"Ukraine Claims it Hacked Russian MoD"

Hackers operating from Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) have recently claimed another breach, this time against the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).  The GUR, part of Kyiv’s Ministry of Defense, said a “special operation” enabled it to breach the servers of the Russian MoD (Minoborony) to obtain sensitive documents.  The GUR claimed that the sensitive documents included orders and reports apparently circulated among over 2000 structural units of the ministry.  The GUR said that the information obtained allows them to establish the complete structure of the system of the Russian Ministry of Defense and its units.  The attacks have yet to be officially verified.  In December last year, the GUR claimed it had crippled Russia’s federal tax system after launching destructive malware at Russia’s Federal Taxation Service (FTS) and over 2300 regional servers.  In January this year, an attack by “volunteer patriots” hit Russia’s State Research Center on Space Hydrometeorology (Planeta).  Ukraine claimed the attack destroyed 280 servers and two petabytes of information, including “unique research.”
