cyber security issues, a failure in the kyivstar network, there were certainly not problems in the vodafonetwork, the monobank bank came under attack, well, there were also certain problems in the private sector, but all this is still connected with this attack on the kyivstar network. mr. konstantin, how unexpected was this attack , were we ready for it, so you know , now we understand approximately what if we were not ready at all, so that the enemy could... attack, why now instead of attacks on energy objects massively, hit massively on the mobile network? uh, well in fact, it should be noted that something similar, but on a larger scale, i expected there immediately after the large-scale invasion in february 2022, even six months before that i was paying attention to the fact that if there is a full-scale invasion, then no one is that.. . did not believe, then the primary target can be telecom operators, operators, internet providers, and in general communication operators, because these are very important pain points, and in fact these attacks took place and they were unsuccessful in

two networks, because if several millions switched to the network of lifecell and the so-called vodafone time. these networks would be available to new subscribers instantly. at for some reason, no one forbids them to buy sim cards of other operators, and people rushed to the shops. we work from 9 to 9, i haven't had breakfast, i haven't had lunch and i won't even have breakfast and lunch. and what kind of package do they take, well, most of yours, if there is anything, everything has been disassembled, there is nothing . very soon it becomes clear that the most important communication operator has become the object of a powerful cyber attack by the enemy. the digital infrastructure of kyivstar was damaged. critical damage, so it takes us time to recover with all security protocols in place. tim at times, kyivstar gradually begins to restore the network, the chaos essentially lasts only one day. as early as december 14, the connection appears in large cities, and by the end of the week mobile internet will come to life in the network. in kyivstar stores , visitors are visible again, and

well, i think that today lifecell and vodafone subscribers have become incredibly many, and we literally have a minute and a half, but i can't help but ask what our people should prepare for, because there could be attacks, let's say on the energy network before, well, i have i mean attacks on the network, just like hacker attacks on the banking system, but we don't need anything here. you know, and to keep silent, to say that everything will be fine, and then we saw the butch, everything may not be fine, therefore, in order to understand how people can protect themselves from it or how to act, what to do, well, if it is possible in general, of course, i am here , we will not obsess about the extended comments, but approximately at least to understand the situation, it is enough to know that it can happen, this is the biggest, and accordingly prepare plan b, plan c and so on, it is clear that there someone has thought of a second seven for... this is the reason, yes, wi-fi points to understand how you can contact, warn, well all relatives know that interruptions are possible, so all this

for 40 minutes, as far as i remember, they repelled this attack, everything is working normally, vodafone life is also working now normally, that is, everyone currently has an alternative connection, an alternative connection communication, or national roaming, is plan b in case of any force majeure, even at the beginning of the great war, when there were problems with mobile communication, each subscriber could change the operator in the phone settings. at the same time, he did not have to pay extra for using another network, this time the plan did not work, the ministry of digital transformation explained that kyivstar simply could not transfer information about its subscribers to other operators due to a failure. day safety should not be for 5 kopecks, which is very often an economy, unfortunately, it is necessary to always have a plan b to have an alternative connection, this is an additional... phone number of another operator, this is an independent mobile, independent internet from the provider, independent of mobile communication. this hacker attack is not the first in the history

two other networks, because if all these new sim cards started to be actively used, i doubt that vodafone lifecell would be able to provide, so it is a story that the state on the one hand managed to react by banning roaming. and on the other hand , she overslept the moment when it was necessary to suspend or give command to suspend the sale of new sim cards. so what should be done to prevent this from happening again? oleksandr alshanskyi says that anyone can be attacked, and such attacks are part of modern warfare, and therefore every company should establish a special storage of its data, which no one will be able to access without the internet. you can put it there, but take it from here or somehow modify it? or do something with it, you can't without being physically there, meaning it doesn't have remote control, it can have approx. this is what it looks like, that is, literally a storage room, a closed room, or even a basement with such racks, on which important information for the company is stored on physical media, it can be any, even primitive methods, such as cds and dvds, or s
