944

The Russian space agency Roscosmos was the target of a computer attack today, a day after publishing satellite photographs of the “decision-making centers” of the Ukrainian army that Russia has threatened to destroy if the country's territories are attacked.

"After the publication of spatial images of the 'decision-making centers' by Roscosmos, the state-owned company's website was the target of a DDoS attack“, wrote the head of the communication department of the Russian space agency, Dmitri Strugovets, in his Telegram account.

According to the representative of Roscosmos, “unlike March and April, when attacks originate abroad, this time they departed from Yekaterinburg“, Russian city located in the eastern part of the Ural mountains.

The day before, the agency had published on June 28, in your Telegram account, photographs of the places where the NATO summit takes place and of the “decision-making centers” of the countries of the Atlantic alliance, including photos of the White House and the Pentagon, in Washington, of the Secretary of Defense, in the United Kingdom, and of similar institutions in France, Germany and Belgium.

BUT: Russian satellite explosion, endangered a space station

The message reads on the post:

"Today, a NATO summit begins in Madrid, at which Western countries will declare Russia their worst enemy. While representatives from 30 countries in the alliance, as well as partners and candidates, will tackle the 2030 strategic concept, Roscosmos publishes satellite photos of the summit site and of the “decision-making centers” themselves who support Ukrainian nationalists. At the same time, we give the coordinates of objects. So, just in case:
