This was stated by the company’s president Alexander Komarov during the telethon.
It must be admitted that this attack penetrated our defenses. This happened because the account of one of the employees was compromised, and the enemy was able to get inside the company’s infrastructure,” Komarov said, adding that the conclusions of the investigation are not yet known to him.
The president of Kyivstar said that the issue is not technology, but that in any organization there can be people “conditionally targeting Russian missiles or giving away their passwords because social engineers work well.”
Komarov also repeated that at the first stage the company managed to restore voice services, and the rest will be able to be restored overnight.
Kyivstar denies claims by hackers to hack subscribers’ personal data. The company claims that these systems remain intact. This was reported by the company’s press service.
As previously reported, subscriber information and personal data are safe. The systems in which the data is stored were not affected by the hacker attack, the statement says.
Earlier, screenshots with personal data of Kyivstar users appeared on the network. However, the company notes that the images randomly collected technological data that is not related to the personal data of subscribers. Kyivstar also denied fakes about the alleged destruction of computers and servers.
