A cyberattack on the Mercury platform, part of Russia’s Federal State Information System for Veterinary Surveillance (VetIS), caused significant disruptions in the supply chain of animal-based products. The outage forced producers and suppliers to revert to paper-based veterinary certificates, leading to logistical chaos. Several regional distribution centers refused to accept goods, and major retailers such as Lenta, Yandex Lavka, and Miratorg experienced supply chain interruptions. The attack halted parts of the supply chain and disrupted data exchange with other government digital platforms, including Russia’s mandatory product labeling system.
