Ukrainian hackers attacked a number of Russian government and local portals, including the Troika fare payment system, one of the largest in Russia.

Transport card holders in Moscow and Kazan were unable to pay for travel tickets, top up travel cards and pay for parking due to the “glitch”.
Let’s remember, on February 29, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine reported that the largest internet portal of the Russian Federation, Mail.ru, was attacked by the Ukrainian IT army. As a result, some users lost the ability to log into their accounts.
Previously, the Mysterious Werewolf hacker group, which has been operating since 2023, had begun using its own programs to attack the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC).
Also on February 18, a group of Head Mare hackers reportedly “hacked” the Russian company “High Precision Systems and Technologies”, located in Izhevsk and part of the Kalashnikov holding. The group had internal classified documents regarding weapons and other information.
