Russian cybercorps attacked Russian educational institutions that train military specialists: data on results are available

Cyber specialists of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine attacked Russian educational institutions that train military specialists. In particular, the network infrastructure of the North Caucasus Federal University, which trains UAV operators, digital communications specialists, engineers, and physicists for the occupation army, was damaged.

In total, 150 terabytes of data were destroyed. This was reported to OBOZ.UA by intelligence sources.

According to our source, the North Caucasus Federal University, which was attacked by specialists, supports the activities of a number of educational institutions in several regions of the Russian Federation, including seven institutes.

As a result of the operation, the internal information infrastructure of the facility was damaged, and the enemy's targeted resources, such as websites, databases, and file storages, totaling more than 150 terabytes, were destroyed.

In particular, 11 websites, more than 7,000 service computers, 135 servers, and file storages were attacked.

In addition, in order to divert attention and "disguise" the main direction of the attack, the DIU cyber specialists carried out a series of cyber attacks on a number of targeted Internet resources and file storages of enemy organizations. Having gained access to them, intelligence representatives published a propaganda leaflet in support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive.

According to the source, the operation managed to weaken the educational and scientific base of the aggressor country and its capabilities to train military specialists.

"The Main Intelligence Directorate will continue to dismantle the occupiers' cyber infrastructure, which supports the Kremlin's terrorist army," the source assures.

Earlier, it was reported that the DIU's special forces disabled another Russian ship, the Alexander Obukhov minesweeper, part of the Russian Baltic Fleet. As a result of the successful operation, the vessel was damaged and water got into the engine: it happened when Obukhov was about to go on combat duty.

Only in July of this year, this minesweeper underwent repairs in St. Petersburg, and now it is back for a long, complicated, and expensive repair.
