Ukrainian Hackers Disrupt Russia's Megafon, Leaving Many Without Mobile Communications And Internet
Sources from Ukrainian intelligence shared this information with Ukrinform.
"Since yesterday morning, residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and several central regions of the Russian Federation began reporting disruptions in mobile communications, internet access, and poor performance of various mobile services and applications. Within hours, [Russia's communications watchdog] Roskomnadzor acknowledged a 'failure in the MegaFon infrastructure,'" the sources reported.

While the company claimed its network was operating "smoothly," it admitted to "possible access issues" caused by factors beyond its control.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the successful attack not only disrupted MegaFon but also affected other operators, including Yota and NetByNet. The assault temporarily deprived Russians of access to various online resources and services such as Steam, Twitch, and Discord, platforms reportedly used by the Russian military and intelligence services in their aggression against Ukraine.
