Hackers target Ukrainian agency managing assets seized from sanctioned Russians

Ukraine's ARMA asset agency reported a cyberattack amid selecting a manager for seized IDS Ukraine assets linked to sanctioned Russians.

Ukraine's Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), which manages assets seized from criminals and sanctioned individuals, said Tuesday it had been targeted by a cyberattack, with the SBU investigating. The attack coincided with preparations to select a manager for seized corporate rights in IDS Ukraine, a major beverage producer seized in late 2022 from Russian shareholders including sanctioned billionaire Mikhail Fridman. ARMA reported other suspected interference since spring, including unauthorized access to an internal database of agency officials, but did not attribute the attack or release technical details. In April, ARMA employees were targeted in a cyberespionage campaign attributed to Russia-linked APT28, which failed to penetrate internal systems.

Ukraine's prosecutor general Ruslan Kravchenko resigned over an anti-corruption probe into officials who allegedly took bribes since mid-2025 to protect fraudulent call centers; he has not been charged. NABU named five suspects, including senior prosecutor Serhii Kropyva, who was remanded with bail of 120 million hryvnias (about $2.7 million) on suspicion of laundering over 89 million hryvnias (roughly $2 million). The scam centers targeted victims in Ukraine and abroad; Ukrainian authorities reported shutting about 340 call centers over the past year, including 94 in a single week during a nationwide crackdown.
