After being the subject of a cyberattack, one of Russia’s top video streaming websites was rendered inaccessible for three days.
RuTube, a Kremlin-friendly alternative to YouTube, got back online Wednesday afternoon after being offline since Monday. RuTube stated it had been the victim of the “biggest hack” it has ever seen in postings on its official Telegram channel.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has resulted in a near-constant flood of low-level cyberattacks on both countries’ websites. Ukraine’s government has even given the “IT Army,” a group of so-called hacktivists, permission to conduct attacks on targets it wants to flood with online traffic regularly.
DDoS assaults normally only slow down or take websites down for a short period. More serious cyberattacks, such as the one that paralyzed RuTube for days, are significantly less common.
In Telegram messages, RuTube stated that the attack was carried out to prevent Russians from watching the Victory Day parade on Monday and that the perpetrator was a state-sponsored hacker organization. The corporation also announced that it has recruited Positive Technologies, a Russian cybersecurity firm that the US sanctioned last year after accusing it of dealing with Russian intelligence.
On their Telegram channels, the IT Army and Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, who has previously expressed his support for the hacker organization, hailed the RuTube hack but did not claim responsibility.
