After a large-scale cyber attack, the Ministry of Justice is preparing to dismiss the general director of the State Enterprise “National Information Systems” (NAIS) Alexei Berezhny.
Ukrayinska Pravda writes about this with reference to sources.
NAIS, headed by Berezhny since 2019, manages the registers of the Ministry of Justice.
On December 19, NAIS announced the implementation of planned technical work, in particular, on the Unified State Register, the State Register of Civil Status Acts of Citizens, and the Bankruptcy and Insolvency system.
On the day of the hack, the Russian Telegram channel XakNet Team stated that as a result of the attack on NAIS, hackers reached the infrastructure with all the data of the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice.
The Russians claimed that after entering the ministry’s infrastructure, they stole and deleted more than 1 billion rows of data, including those stored on a backup server in Poland.
