Russian cyberattack disrupts auctions for commercial fishing in Ukraine
Kyiv • UNN
The auctions for commercial fishing for aquatic bioresources scheduled for January 3 have been canceled due to a Russian cyberattack on state registers. The auctions will be postponed until after the registers are restored.
The auctions for commercial fishing for aquatic bioresources, which were to take place on January 3, were canceled. Participants were unable to obtain the necessary documents due to a large-scale cyberattack by the Russian Federation. This was reported by UNN with reference to the State Fisheries Agency.
Details
According to the agency, the participants were unable to obtain documents because important state registers, including the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Entrepreneurs and Public Organizations, were temporarily suspended.
As a result, the announcement of the auctions to be held on January 3, 2025, was canceled in the electronic trading system Prozorro.Sale.
The auctions for commercial fishing will be postponed and held after the state registries resume their work.
The new auction dates will be published in the Prozorro.Sale system and on the official resources of the State Agency for Fisheries.
Recall
The first state registries in Ukraine have been reopened after a large-scale cyberattack. The Unified Register of Powers of Attorney, the Inheritance Register, and the Unified Register of Special Forms of Notarial Documents have resumed their work.
