A cyberattack on Ukraine's national railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia disrupted online ticket services, causing long lines at Kyiv’s station.
The attack did not impact train operations. Ukrzaliznytsia is investigating the attack and restoring the affected systems with the help of the Cyber Department of the Security Service of Ukraine.
Railways are essential for Ukraine’s transportation, evacuation, and supply chains amid the ongoing war. With airports closed, Ukrzaliznytsia plays a crucial role in moving people, delivering aid, and exporting goods, underscoring the need to protect critical infrastructure.
Authorities did not attribute the attack to a specific threat actor, however, past attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure have been linked to Russian nation-state actors.
