After nearly a week of investigation, graphic chip maker Nvidia has admitted that its information was leaked to cyber attackers. In such a situation, from the beginning of the military tensions between Russia and Ukraine, the news of the violence of the Russian hackers has been heard, but this time the situation has started to change. Ukraine’s cyber-fighters are attacking key infrastructure such as Russia’s power supply and rail systems.
Cyber security expert Igor Ashev, the main coordinator of Ukraine’s civilian hacker team, has confirmed to Reuters news agency that cyber attacks have been carried out on key Russian infrastructure.
On Monday, Ashev announced plans to launch a cyber attack on critical infrastructure and military weapons supplies for Russia’s military.
“The goal is to make it impossible to bring these weapons into our country,” Ashev told Reuters.
Ashev claims that his group of organized hackers has already dismantled or changed the face of dozens of Russian government and banking websites; In some cases, the content of the website has been changed and pictures of the horrors of the war have been posted.
A spokesman for Nvidia, meanwhile, told CNN: “We have learned that the attackers have launched a cyber attack on the system, stealing the company’s own information and employee identification data and spreading it online. However, there was no direct link between the Russia-Ukraine war and the cyber-attack. “
The spokesman also reiterated that the attack, which was first identified on February 23, would have no effect on business.
The news of the cyber attack was first reported by the British daily Telegraph.
