On September 11, cyber specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, together with activists from the BO Team group, carried out a successful operation against the Russian federal certification center “Osnovenie”.
The press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate reported this today, September 13.
The main activity of this enterprise is the issuance of electronic digital signatures. The said company is accredited by the Ministry of Digital Development of the aggressor state and is considered one of the most secure and reliable in Russia, the GUR notes.
It is noted that among the clients of this center are banking, military and other state and private institutions involved in waging a genocidal war against Ukraine, in particular, Russian Helicopters, Alfa-Bank, Transneft Telecom, Transmashholding, Serebro Magadana and many others.
As a result of the attack, terabytes of important data on the enterprise’s servers were destroyed, and a database of one and a half million electronic digital signatures of subjects who used the services of the Russian federal center was obtained, the GUR said. – The Ukrainian hackers intend to put the array of data they obtained up for sale, and transfer the proceeds to the needs of the security and defense forces of Ukraine.
