Ukrainian IT Army break into Russian Bitrix24 cloud service

The Ukrainian IT Army has hacked the Russian Bitrix24 cloud service widely used by the largest companies sponsoring the war, including Rosneft, the hacker group says on its social media.

Bitrix24 services were disrupted in a number of Russian cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Ufa, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar, and the capital of Belarus, Minsk.

"This means that such sponsors of the war as Rosneft have huge problems with customer service, as do more than 40% of users of all CRM systems in Russia," the report says.

These are tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for the Russian economy, but "it depends on how long we hold them off."

"Bitrix24 is a Russian cloud service that offers a set of tools for organizing the work of companies and building relationships with customers. The developer and provider is the Russian company 1C-Bitrix."

The anonymous hacker group has been attacking various Russian enterprises and defense facilities since the beginning of the all-out war. The group is a community of IT professionals worldwide who united after the new stage of battles.

"We are the most powerful community in Ukraine and can hold more than 800 targets simultaneously. Specialists of different levels have created and continue to create automated systems of attacks on information resources and services of the aggressor country," the group stated.

Previously, pro-Ukrainian hackers have broken into the website of the Moscow Technical Inventory Bureau, which contains data on real estate and its owners in Moscow and the region. All the data stolen from the Russians has been transferred to Ukrainian troops.

The Moscow Technical Inventory Bureau is a state organization that contains information about real estate and buildings in the city.  In particular, building plans, technical data sheets, wear Information, communication information, and other documents.
