The pro-Russian hacker groups KillNet and Beregini have gained access to data from the largest strategic enterprises of Ukraine, a representative of the computer hackers told RIA Novosti.

“In addition to data on individuals, we have a huge amount of information on the largest defense enterprises of Ukraine, such as “Motor Sich“, Zaporizhzhia Mechanical Plant and the Ukrstal plant, along with management data, production schedules and employee data“, said a representative of KillNet.

He added that the information obtained could be used after the end of the fighting to identify individuals “potentially connected with Ukrainian radicals".

"This will help to open criminal cases against neo-Nazis, those who served in the Ukrainian armed forces and spread propaganda, as well as against the intelligence network of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Security Service of Ukraine", the hacker said.

The data was extracted during a large-scale cyberattack on six of the largest insurance companies in Ukraine, which hackers announced earlier on Friday.

They include personal passport information of Robert Brovdy, call sign Magyar, commander of the drone division “Magyar Birds“ of the Ukrainian armed forces and commander of the Ukrainian forces for unmanned systems.

In total, during the operation, the hackers obtained over ten million sets of documents for both individuals and legal entities, factories, vehicles, as well as green cards, insurance policies, driver's licenses books and video and photo evidence for damage assessments after landings.
