The loss of data and documentation has led to partial or complete shutdowns of operations for both service providers and consumers in various sectors. This incident is expected to require additional resources for data recovery and will further highlight the low level of technical infrastructure in Russia, according to the intelligence source.

All data on the attacked servers were deleted without the possibility of recovery.

Earlier, the HUR cyber specialists executed another DDoS attack on Russia's banking system, disrupting the operations of major banking institutions that facilitate the activities of the occupying Russian forces. Notable targets included Bank Russia, Tinkoff Bank, Gaz Bank, and the payment system SBP.
