Ukrzaliznytsia has resumed online ticket sales for trains after the largest cyberattack. The Ukrzaliznytsia press service reported this on March 27.
"The Ukrzaliznytsia website and application were restored to non-stop operation in 89 hours after an unprecedented attack on the railway's key operating systems. At the first stage, only basic functionality will work: sale and refund of tickets for all directions with a depth of 20 days," the message says.
It is noted that no sensitive information was leaked during the cyberattack.
"Railway workers, specialists from the SSU cyber department, CERT-UA at the State Service for Special Communications and other partners are working to restore all other services, primarily client services. Our stations and ticket offices continue to operate in an enhanced mode throughout the country as a safety precaution, and trains - like all previous days - run according to schedule," the Ukrzaliznytsia added.
At the same time, Ukrzaliznytsia warned of possible temporary technical disruptions due to peak service overloads.
We remind you that Ukrzaliznytsia is working to restore the online ticket sales function. Currently, a travel document can be purchased at the station in 15 minutes, or issued on the train.
The failure of Ukrzaliznytsia's systems, which occurred on March 23, was caused by a large-scale cyberattack. Online ticket sales remained unavailable, the company worked offline.
