National Police opens criminal case into DDoS attacks on Ukrainian websites

National Police officers are investigating a series of DDoS-attacks on a number of Ukraine’s information resources.

An investigation has been opened following a request from one of the state banks.

A criminal case has been opened for unauthorized interference with the operation of automated systems and the mass distribution of telecommunications messages.

A working group of specialists from the national cybersecurity system is taking the necessary measures to counter and localize the cyber attack, the National Police said.

Earlier in February, unknown attackers carried out a large-scale DDoS attack on Ukrainian banks and government websites. Disruptions were also observed on the Diia portal.
