Another satellite internet service provider bigblu has also confirmed that a third of its 40 thousand users in Europe, Germany, France, Greece, Italy and Poland have lost their internet. Please note that Eutelsat is the parent company of bigblu. It is suspected that these users are also affected by the attack on Viasat. Viasat said there has been a partial network outage in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe following a cyberattack.
Viasat has not given detailed information about this attack. The company says that the police and state partners have been informed and are investigating the matter. The head of the French Space Command, General Michel Friedling, said that the cyber attack has happened.
Viasat said in a statement that the satellite network, especially covering Europe and Ukraine, was attacked, after which thousands of satellite terminals were disabled. The attack also shut down some 5,800 wind turbines of 11 gigawatts in Germany and Central Europe.
Let us tell you that before this there have been cyber attacks on Ukraine’s parliament and other government and banking websites as well. After the attack, hackers have also inserted malware into government sites and bank computers. The attack was confirmed by ESET Research Labs only. The lab said it had detected data-wiping malware (deleting data) on a Ukrainian computer. The lab claimed that many large organizations of Ukraine have also been targeted in this attack.
