The cyberattack was preceded by a phishing campaign that also targeted other local administrations, courts, and the local population.
As a result of the special operation, the website of the Ulyanovsk administration allegedly published an order from Mayor A.E. Boldakin calling for a rally “in support of the SVO.”
Subsequently, local media published reports of the “fake” message from the mayor as a result of a cyberattack.
The cyberattack also gave the BO Team access to reports on the “bypassing of candidates for military service,” in which local officials refer to residents of Ulyanovsk as “targeted individuals.”
“Residents of Ulyanovsk, if you value your life, do not leave your homes! The administration employees need to implement the plan, they will do anything to stay in their chairs, they are already coming for you! Better yet, burn down the administration, because there is virtually no chance of survival after being sent to Ukraine,” the BO Team hackers said in their appeal.
