Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the Ukrainian special services have neutralized more than 270 cyber attacks on the IT systems of government agencies, telecom operators, and the Ukrainian media.

Hackers obtained money for subversive activities through banned Russian payment systems.
Communication between themselves and their Russian "curator" was maintained through closed channels.
Also on the region's territory, the boot farm of the special services of the Russian Federation, which the occupiers used to spread hostile propaganda and disinformation, was liquidated.
Almost 7,000 fake accounts registered on the telephone numbers of both Ukrainian and foreign mobile operators were used to spread destructive content.
In Vinnytsia:
SSU investigators have completed a pre-trial investigation into a local woman who advocated Russian aggression against Ukraine and justified the occupiers' crimes. It has been established that the malefactor was a member of the banned party in our country and maintained close ties with Kremlin propagandists.

In the Rivne region:

In the Cherkasy region:
SSU cyber specialists blocked the activities of three hostile propagandists. It is documented that the residents of the Cherkasy region carried out active pro-Kremlin propaganda on the pages of Russian social networks and in thousands of Internet communities.
