MOSCOW – Russian state media company VGTRK has been targeted in an unprecedented cyberattack, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, saying that investigations are ongoing to determine who was behind it.
VGTRK said earlier on Monday in a statement that its online service had come under an overnight cyberattack, but radio and TV broadcasting were not disrupted despite the attack.
“Our state media holding, one of the largest, has faced an unprecedented hacker attack on its digital infrastructure,” Peskov told reporters, saying VGTRK was working to overcome the consequences of the attack.
“Specialists are working to find out all the circumstances, to understand where the traces left behind by those who organised this hacker attack on the critical infrastructure object lead.”
