According to him, during such a costly attack, hackers attacked the Diya portal, PrivatBank and other banks, this attack occurred on February 23, the day before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

“They wanted to turn off everything for us the day before the war, we survived, recaptured. These were the most terrible cyberattacks in terms of their power,” Fedorov said.. He added that now the attack vector of Russian hackers has expanded, they attack not only government resources.

“The FSB finances these hacker groups, but 70% of the money is stolen by these hacker groups,” Fedorov added..

“When our cyber community “lies” the website of the Kremlin and the FSB, they attacked the website of some OTG. I think they've had internal squabbles..

They talk about incredible attacks on the mail of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and post photos of territories destroyed by their own missiles and tanks, where they tell the truth. I can’t imagine how much money they took from their curators for this,” the minister said..

Recall that the Sandworm hacker group, confirmed as unit 74455 of the Russian military intelligence department of the GRU, on the evening of April 8, attacked the energy system of Ukraine, which aimed to blackout the country following the example of 2016..
