Cyberattack disrupts train ticket sales in Ukraine


Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine’s state-owned railway operator, has been hit by a cyberattack that disrupted online ticket sales.

Ukraine’s state-owned railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia said Monday that it was hit by a large-scale cyberattack. Daryna Antoniuk, a journalist based in Ukraine, reported the disruption for The Record from Kyiv’s central station, writing that the capital’s main railway station was “unusually crowded on Monday morning, with dozens of people waiting in long lines to buy tickets for travel within Ukraine and abroad.” In its announcement, Ukrzaliznytsia said (per a machine translation): “The enemy failed to do the key thing: train traffic is stable, they run clearly, without delays, and all operational processes of traffic are set up in a backup format.”
