Ukrinform reported that cyber specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate disrupted the operation of the cash registers and made it impossible to travel on the bridge.
Cyber specialists of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “killed” cash registers in Crimea and stopped traffic on the Kerch Bridge. Ukrinform reported this on Thursday, June 27, citing its own intelligence source.
It is reported that military intelligence hackers have hit propaganda media servers, telecom operators, the registration system for traffic control on the Kerch Bridge, as well as massive phishing attacks on local Internet users continue, there are failures in accounting services, shopping cash registers. Malls do not work in Kerch and Sevastopol points.
Among other things, a massive DDos attack was carried out on the website of the propaganda media outlet Kerch FM and the servers of the mobile operator Miranda Media. This operator provides the main communication channels for the call center of the work administration of Sevastopol, and as a result of the attack, the number of the single contact center does not work.
The publication states that as a result of the defeat of the registration and traffic control system, a significant queue of cars appeared on the bridge: within an hour, the traffic jam grew six times, and in the morning there are three hundred cars in the queue.
There is no official confirmation of this information yet.
Let’s recall that the Institute for the Study of War believes that the Kerch (Crimean) bridge connecting Russia and Crimea remains important for supporting the occupation of the peninsula. If strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroy the facility, the ability of Russian troops to maintain the occupation will decrease.
