“This week, the IT army managed to set a record for the number of attacked Russian online services! More than 800 Russian online resources were attacked from May 23 to 29.”
Due to cyber attacks, customers of many Russian banks were not able to use online banking and make financial transactions from a smartphone.
In addition, the Russians failed to take microloans because of attacks on microfinance institutions.
The Ukrainian IT army did not miss the Russian stock exchanges, which had to cut off access abroad to restrain the pressure and continue to operate. Ukrainian IT specialists also attacked the RuStore application store, which is the Russian analogue of Google Play, which was launched last week.
“It was more difficult for Russians to use Kremlin propaganda through cyberattacks on regional media sites and TV channels over the weekend.”
