ASVT

Tens of thousands of people in Moscow and nearby areas lost internet access for several days after a major DDoS attack targeted the Russian provider ASVT, disrupting its mobile app, website, and customer accounts. Residents reported being unable to work remotely, pay at local shops using card terminals, or access their buildings due to disabled internet-based intercom systems. The attack, first detected on Tuesday, continued into Friday, and was attributed to the Ukrainian 'IT Army,' a pro-Kyiv hacker collective known for targeting Russian infrastructure.
