Ukraine's state-owned telecommunications company Ukrtelecom experienced a disruption in internet service on Monday after a"powerful" cyberattack, according to Ukrainian government officials and company representatives.
"Today, the enemy launched a powerful cyberattack against Ukrtelecom’s IT-infrastructure," said Yurii Shchyhol, chairman of the State Service of Special Communication and Information Protection of Ukraine."The attack was repelled. And now Ukrtelecom has an ability to begin restoring its services to the clients."
NetBlocks, which monitors internet service disruptions, posted on Twitter earlier on Monday that it saw"connectivity collapsing" with an"ongoing and intensifying nation-scale disruption."
