‘Sandworm’ Attack Interrupts Service at 11 Telcom Providers in Ukraine
INCIDENT
The state-sponsored Russian hacking group tracked as 'Sandworm' has compromised eleven telecommunication service providers in Ukraine between May and September 2023.
That is based on a new report by Ukraine's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-UA) citing 'public resources' and information retrieved from some breached providers. The agency states that the Russian hackers "interfered" with the communication systems of 11 telcos in the country, leading to service interruptions and potential data breaches.
