On April 7 2025, Ukraines Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) reported that a large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack targeted the War & Sanctions portal. The attack generated more than 56 million requests in 30 minutes from over 3,700 virtual machines located in at least ten countries, including Russia and China. It was attributed to Russian special services, but no specific agency was identified. The aim was to disrupt access to sanction-related information; the site remained online and suffered no data loss.
