Pro-Ukraine Hackers Hit Russia's Biggest State Procurement Platform

A pro-Ukraine hacking group, Yellow Drift, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Roseltorg, Russia's largest electronic trading platform for government and corporate procurement. The group allegedly deleted 550 terabytes of data. While Roseltorg initially attributed the outage to maintenance, they later confirmed the attack, stating data and infrastructure have been restored. The attack impacted major Russian corporations and government agencies, including the Ministry of Defense and Roskomnadzor. This incident highlights the ongoing cyberwar between Russia and Ukraine and the potential disruptive impact of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
