Cyber activists from the “BO Team” attacked the Russian Internet provider Vega, which resulted in the blocking of the work of facilities including the All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics, a developer of nuclear munitions, Ukrinform reported yesterday.
“The successful hunt of the BO Team cyber activists continues. Its next victim was the Internet service provider Vega from the city of Snezhinsk, Chelyabinsk region (the closed administrative-territorial formation Chelyabinsk-70, known since Soviet times),” the hacker group said in a statement to Ukrinform.
“The results exceeded expectations. More than 1173 of the provider’s switches and 10 of the company’s servers were taken out of action, and the information on them was completely destroyed. As a result, the provision of Internet and communication services to a number of strategic enterprises of the city has been blocked for five days in a row, and the prospects for their full restoration leave much to be desired....”
