All information systems belonging to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) continue to function normally despite the Kyivstar network failure, according to the regulator’s press service on Dec. 12.
“In particular, the electronic payment system used by banks, the official website, and the internal computer network of the NBU, as well as the NBU hotline for citizen inquiries, continue to work,” the NBU said.
The company attributed the problem to a technical failure which was impacting communication services and internet access for a portion of its subscriber base.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation subsequently reported that Kyivstar’s malfunction caused problems with national data roaming systems.
Kyivstar later clarified that the widespread disruption was caused by a cyberattack. The company is taking measures to address the issue and restore services promptly.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
