Cyber specialists from the Atesh partisan movement have carried out a cyberattack, disrupting the operations of Russia’s largest commodity exchange, which handles 99% of the country’s raw materials trading volumes.
According to Ukrinform, Atesh reported this on Telegram.
“Our specialists disabled a key Kremlin-controlled commodity exchange where the main resources of Putin’s regime are traded,” the partisans stated.
Spimex.com is Russia’s largest commodity exchange, accounting for 99% of organized trading in oil and petroleum products, gas, coal, timber, metals, construction materials, and agricultural products.
Atesh said that the exchange is “one of the pillars of Putin’s bloody regime, which wages war in Ukraine and kills its own citizens.”
“We deliberately struck at the heart of Putin’s economy. Every day, millions of petrodollars flow through this exchange, feeding the Kremlin’s war machine. Today, that tap has been shut off — at least for a while,” Atesh said.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, an ATEŞ agent recently disabled a relay cabinet on a railway line connecting Russia’s Rostov region with the occupied Luhansk region, a key route used by Russian forces to supply military equipment and ammunition.
