Diya has restored access to four more services after the cyber attack

Diya has restored access to a number of services that were previously unavailable due to a large-scale cyber attack, the press service said.

In particular, from now on, Ukrainians can once again receive the following services:

• extracts about children’s place of residence;
• to update data on children’s place of residence;
• “Winter is Support” for children;
• social payments – subsidies, assistance to families with children.

Diya emphasizes that they are “actively working to restore all services together with the Ministry of Justice.”

The application also reminded that “all data is stored in the registers, not in the application itself, which guarantees the protection of personal information.”

On December 19, the Minister of Justice Olga Stefanishyna reported on the most extensive external cyber attack on the state registers of Ukraine in recent times. As a result of the targeted attack, the work of state registers was temporarily stopped.

Stefanishyna said that the hacking of the Ministry of Justice registers did not affect other state information systems, although the Diya application “did not work in the part that is formed from data” from the Ministry of Justice registers. Also, according to her, there is no threat of loss of data or loss of functioning of registers.

At that time, Ministry of Justice predicted that the time for the priority restoration of the registers would be roughly up to 2 weeks.

The Security Service opened criminal proceedings after a cyber attack on state registers. The main version considered by the SBU is that Russian special services are behind this cyber attack, in particular, hacker groups connected to the GRU of the General Staff of Russia.
