A hacker attack on the largest Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar became possible due to the compromised account of one of the employees of this company.
This was stated by the president of the Kyivstar company, Alexander Komarov, on the air of the national information telethon One News.
According to him, the issue is not about supposedly vulnerable technologies, but about the fact that in any organization there may be people who conditionally target Russian missiles or give up their passwords because social engineers work well.

— The example of Kyivstar shows that even the most secure infrastructure can be damaged. It's real. We use the latest technologies from global suppliers to keep the company's perimeter closed from cyber threats, — the director of the company assures.
He claims that the company used the latest technologies to protect against cyber threats. And since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Kyivstar has managed to repel about 500 cyber attacks.
