Rutube still down after alleged Ukrainian hacker attack
The Russian video hosting Rutube is still unavailable after a cyberattack took place yesterday as the country was celebrating Victory Day.
“The video hosting has undergone a powerful cyberattack. At the moment, it is impossible to access the platform,” Rutube said. According to the Russian news sources, specialists have already localized the incident and are engaged in security services. The term for restoring access to the service is unknown, Rutube will inform about it later. According to Globalcheck, the site availability is 0% for all Internet operators in all regions of Russia. “Rutube technical specialists confirmed that third parties were unable to access the video archive. The entire library, including user content, is still stored on the service. Now work is underway to restore the infrastructure for video output,” the press service of the hosting told RBC. Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov unofficially confirmed that the Russian video service was hacked by Ukraine: "I will now show you where the attack on Rutube was being prepared," Fedorov wrote. The Minister also published a screenshot, which reports that after powerful attacks on the websites of Russian agencies, hackers reached RuTube. Fedorov added that 6 hours before the parade in Moscow, four video hosting servers were turned off and "this allowed not to show the world the beacon that took place in the main square of the Russian Federation."
