Government of Russia

Hackers targeted several Russian Government websites in a supply chain attack recently amid the Ukraine-Russia war.

The affected websites include the websites of the Energy Ministry, the Federal State Statistics Service, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Federal Bailiff Service, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Culture Ministry, and other Russian state agencies.

The attackers blocked access to these websites and published their own data.

The Russian authorities soon restored access to the websites and removed the incorrect published data.
