Cyberattack on Wildberries Reported
Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) announced a cyberattack against Wildberries, Russia's largest online marketplace. The operation, reportedly conducted with the Cyber Corps hacker group, caused widespread disruption to the company's customer service, contact centers, and payment infrastructure. HUR stated that numerous complaints were reported from customers unable to make payments.
Amplifying Kinetic Strikes
The cyberattack was intended to amplify the impact of drone strikes by Ukraine's Defense Forces on Wildberries warehouses. Ukraine claims the company plays an important role in Russia’s logistics network and in financing the war against Ukraine. Russian media estimates indicate Wildberries has lost over 1.2 million square meters of warehouse space due to Ukrainian attacks, with seven of its ten largest logistics centers reportedly out of operation.
Company's Role and Previous Attacks
While Wildberries primarily sells consumer goods, it reportedly also offers military equipment, including drone components and body armor, on its platform. Ukraine's military intelligence frequently conducts cyberattacks in conjunction with hacker groups, often to complement drone or missile strikes. Previous incidents include a hack of Tupolev's internal systems in June 2025 and Russian election systems in September.
