News portal Zlatopil in the city of Kropyvnytsky in Southern Ukraine was targeted with a cyber-attack which caused disfunction and blocked access to the portal. The aim of the attack was to hack into the website, the editor of Zlatopil, Olena Shenderovska, said. “On the night of March 31 to April 1, there was an attempt to hack the site, overloading our server. It is difficult to establish where the attack was launched from, because the attackers used proxy servers. So far, the site has been restored,” Shenderovskaya said. The cause for the hacking attack was believed to be the platform’s reporting on the war.
