Ukrainian cyber experts shut down provider of Russian banks

The press service of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine reported this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"For several days now, there have been malfunctions in the work of Mastertel, the main communications provider of Russian banks. Alfa-Bank, VTB, Sberbank and other sponsors of terrorism cannot provide some services because their services are down," the statement said.

According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, this is the result of the work of Ukrainian cyber troops, thanks to whose operations Russians cannot use exchangers and some banking operations.

The ministry also called on Ukrainians to join the ranks of the IT Army.

As reported, in late February, the Ukrainian IT Army attacked the largest Internet portal in Russia, Mail.ru.
