The Ministry of Justice wants to create a new data protection mechanism / photo – UNIANThe Ministry of Justice of Ukraine plans to create a new data protection mechanism that will become the “Pentagon of State Registers”. The reason was a large-scale cyber attack carried out by Russian hackers in December last year.This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration – Minister of Justice Olga Stefanishyna in an interview with Ukrinform.
“We ensure recovery on sites that have a proper mechanism to protect relevant data from possible attacks. Also, a plan to create a “Pentagon” for public registries has already been developed, which we expect will be quickly implemented. The relevant team is already working on the launch of this initiative,” – she told reporters.
Stefanishyna noted that the Russian Federation wanted to undermine the functionality of our country by carrying out a large-scale cyber attack.
“This goal was not achieved, for which I personally thank the specialists of the Ministry of Justice. However, cyber warfare is being waged 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As long as the full-scale war with Russia continues, the cyber war will continue,” she emphasized.
