“The cyberattack is attributed to the Russian group Killnet, which operates on the principles of hacktivism and specializes in conducting DDoS attacks on countries that, in their opinion, support Ukraine.. The group carried out such attacks on government websites in the EU countries and NATO web infrastructure, and in recent days the websites of state organizations in Romania have been attacked,” the service said..

Killnet has already claimed responsibility for hacking government resources. According to representatives of the group, they attacked the website of the Security Service of Ukraine immediately before Russia's attack on our country.. But the official bodies of Ukraine did not confirm the information about the involvement of this group..

But the attack of Russian hackers on the state bodies of Moldova is an alarming bell. The war between Russia and Ukraine showed that cyber attacks are one of the important fronts of hostilities. In addition, over the past few days, the world has been discussing a possible Russian attack on Transnistria.. According to The Times newspaper, the Kremlin has already decided on the attack and intends to open a “new front” in Moldova to attack Ukraine..

The attack on Moldovan resources was preceded by the hacking of the websites of Romanian government agencies. Russian propagandists are actively spreading the opinion that this country is “interested in keeping Moldova in its sphere of influence”.

Earlier, Microsoft stated that Russian hackers could lay the foundation for the Russian invasion of Ukraine as early as 2021.. Attacks on Ukrainian organizations intensified in March last year in order to gain a foothold in their systems.
