The Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) says its cyber specialists have penetrated Russian Defense Ministry computer systems via cyberattack, obtaining secret documents and data revealing the military organizational structure and personal info on key leaders.

The Ukrainian agency says it now possesses critical information security and encryption software used by Russia’s defense establishment. They also obtained an array of secret service documents from the Russian Defense Ministry, including orders, reports, instructions, and communications between over 2,000 structural units.

The hacked information enables Ukrainian intelligence to map out the complete organizational structure of Russia’s defense ministry and its connections. Analyzing the data also helped identify Russian generals and senior leaders across military units who directed the invasion of Ukraine.
