Fake news:
Ukrainian propagandists claim that Ukraine's HUR hacked the Russian Defense Ministry's server, causing a major Runet outage.
The fact:
Ukrainian PSYOPS couldn't miss such an opportunity for information manipulation. Yesterday they began to convince their audience that it was the Ukrainian specialists who "brought down the entire Internet" in Russia. Today's claim about the Defense Ministry's server is also a fake and a logical continuation of yesterday's fabrications, an attempt to claim some merit in the absence of any real achievements on the battlefield.
Recall that the real reason for the outages was a technical problem affecting the .RU domain. According to the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, it was related to disruptions in the global DNSSEC infrastructure. DNSSEC is a set of extensions to the DNS protocol that ensures data integrity and authenticity.
The problem was immediately solved by the specialists of the Internet Technical Center and MSK-IX. Meanwhile, a survey among our readers showed that most of them did not notice any problems.
