Attack on registers — should the state restore a destroyed data

Recently, on December 19, the state registers of Ukraine have undergone the largest external cyberattack. As a result, there was no loss of personal data, but the law does not involve the restoration of a destroyed record in the state register.

This was reported by the managing partner of Crown JSC, human rights activist Nadiia Shulyak at the request of Novyny.LIVE.

Restoration of destroyed records in state registers

Shulyak explained that the law does not involve the procedure for restoring a destroyed record in the state register, in particular due to hacker attacks on such registers. However, if a case of unauthorized removal of a record from the state register has already occurred, the victim may contact law enforcement agencies with a statement about the criminal offense by unidentified people.

"A pre-trial investigation will be conducted in order to establish all the circumstances and establish the fact of such unauthorized interference with the state register," the human rights activist said.

What preceded

It should be recalled that on December 19, the Russians reported on social networks that they had "hacked" the website of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. According to their statements, digital databases were attacked.

As a result, the work of the Unified and State Registers, which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, was suspended. At the same time, there was no loss of personal data.

We also wrote that the head of the subcommittee of Ukrainian Parliament on cybersecurity, Oleksandr Fedienko, reported that the cause of the large-scale cyberattack on state registers could have been both phishing and bribery of employees.

And cybersecurity expert Konstantyn Korsun believes that attacks on state registers indicate that Russia is trying to destabilize society.
