Russian cyberattack and the situation with registries
on December 19, 2024, Ukraine suffered one of the largest external cyberattacks that affected state registries. the Russian Federation launched a cyberattack on state registries that are under the competence of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. The hackers paralyzed dozens of key systems, which led to the suspension of important services and jeopardized the safety of critical data. The Ministry of Justice suspended the operation of dozens of registries for security reasons.
The registries will be restored today, December 23. They will try to restore them completely within two weeks. First, the Ministry of Justice will restore the Unified Register of Powers of Attorney, the Unified Register of Special Forms of Notarial Documents and the Inheritance Register. This will ensure proper data accounting and minimize the negative impact of potential unlawful notarial acts.
The next priority is to restore the State Register of Civil Status Acts, the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, and the State Register of Real Estate Rights and Encumbrances.
According to the SBU, according to the main version of the investigation, the special services of the aggressor country, Russia, are behind the large-scale cyberattack on Ukraine’s state registers. In particular, it could have been carried out by hackers affiliated with the hostile intelligence of the Russian GRU.
