Ukraine says Russian-linked hackers attacked its navy's website

Ukraine said Friday that it believes Russian-linked hackers were responsible for hacking the Ukrainian navy's website and publishing a series of fake reports about its ongoing Sea Breeze military drills taking place in the Black Sea.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a statement that the “entire Kremlin propaganda machine” was involved in the alleged hacking, though Russia’s foreign ministry has yet to publicly comment on the incident, according to Reuters.

The statement added that the “threats have been eliminated” and that “the work of the Navy website will be restored in short time.”
