Ukrainian Railways IT Services Outage After Cyberattack
INCIDENT
On March 23 when the ukrainian rail company Ukrzaliznytsia notified passengers about a failure in its IT system. Passengers were advised to buy tickets on site or on trains. Valeriy Tkachev, deputy head of the commercial department of Ukrzaliznytsia, said the company needs "one or two weeks" to restore all services.
For a country at war where commercial aviation is prohibited, disruption on such a vital travel network threatened country-wide chaos. The railway in Ukraine these days transports everything from the military, the wounded, to the evacuation of the civilians, and international diplomats.
