DDoS Drama: Russian Food Shipments Delayed by Cyber Chaos!
A DDoS attack on Russia’s food safety agency, Rosselkhoznadzor, left food shipments scrambling like eggs on a hot Moscow sidewalk. Knocked offline, their tracking systems had dairy producers reverting to paper certificates, causing delays. It’s the fourth cyber incident this year—Mercury must be in retrograde!
Hot Take:
When it comes to cyber chaos, it seems like Rosselkhoznadzor is having a real farm-to-table disaster. Who knew that tracking a few cows and carrots could lead to such a tech stampede? Looks like Russia’s food safety agency needs a digital pest control plan that’s more robust than a T-bone steak!
Key Points:
– A DDoS attack targeted Rosselkhoznadzor’s VetIS and Saturn systems, disrupting food shipments across Russia.
– The agency assures no data breaches occurred, with major telecoms involved in damage control.
– The attack predominantly affected the Mercury platform, leading to delays in issuing electronic veterinary certificates.
– This is the fourth DDoS attack on the Mercury system in 2025, following previous disruptions.
– No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
