Ukrainian military intelligence has claimed responsibility for a significant hack of Tupolev, the Russian strategic bomber manufacturer. They reportedly exfiltrated over 4.4GB of sensitive information, comprising official correspondence, personal data, and more. This breach could prove pivotal for Ukraine, as it now has substantial insights into Russian aviation operations. The attack coincides with another successful drone operation targeting Russian airfields, further demonstrating Ukraine's advanced capabilities in both cyber and aerial warfare. Additionally, the attackers humorously altered Tupolev’s website to display their insignia, emphasizing their ongoing psychological and operational warfare efforts against Russia.
The significance of the data obtained cannot be overestimated. Now, in fact, there is nothing secret left in Tupolev's activities for Ukrainian intelligence.
In particular, we have obtained comprehensive information about individuals directly involved in servicing Russian strategic aviation. The result will obviously be noticeable both on the ground and in the sky.
In addition to apparently stealing data, the attackers defaced the Russian aircraft builder's website. The logo changed to an owl clutching a bomber instead.
It's a second blow to Russian confidence after last weekend's drone attack on Russian airbases using 18-wheel trucks that carried prefabricated homes.
