France 12 years ago, two great Ukrainian businesses became victims of hackers.
The Kyivstar operator experienced a large-scale outage – customers from various regions of Ukraine reported problems with mobile communications and the Internet, also without accessing the mobile app and the company’s website. At 14:00 there is still no connection and Internet access.

Personal data of subscribers has not been compromised.
Mobile phone subscribers are recommended to use the National Roaming service in order to connect to another operator. However, other subscribers were unable to switch to other operators.
