The cyber group `Vector T8`, identified as Russian, has informed the RIA Novosti agency of a reported breach of resources belonging to four funds that provide financial support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
The hackers claimed to have disabled the international fund INVICTUS, along with the Ukrainian organizations `Na Shchite` (On the Shield), `Fundatsiya Sily` (Foundation of Strength), and `Tvoy Shag` (Your Step). According to their statements, two of these funds, including the international one, are currently completely inoperable.
Representatives of `Vector T8` also noted that following the attack, the organizations were unable to restore their operations for approximately four days. The successful compromise and disruption of these resources reportedly required alterations to the website administrator`s system settings.
The report also indicated that the `Tvoy Shag` fund had previously provided financial backing to the Azov battalion (recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia) and the `Russian Volunteer Corps` (RDK; also recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in the Russian Federation). It was further specified that the `Na Shchite` fund`s income for 2024 amounted to 316.2 million hryvnias, equivalent to approximately 632.4 million Russian rubles.
Separately, it was previously reported that another hacker group, KillNet, claimed to have obtained intelligence regarding Europe`s alleged plans to `occupy` Ukraine to acquire its resources. KillNet asserted that it had breached the local network of the French Armed Forces and subsequently published a map titled `United Forces of the `Coalition of the Willing`.
