The government has extended the booking period due to a cyberattack on registries: who is affected.

This was reported by the First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko.

Recent cyberattacks have temporarily impacted the operation of several state registries. Therefore, while the systems are being restored, the government has extended the validity of reservations.

This pertains to reservations granted by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine or through the Unified State Web Portal of Electronic Services, i.e., via the Diia portal.

The continuation of reservations will occur automatically.

It is noted that there is no need to contact the relevant authorities to issue new documents.

For instance, if the reservation period for an employee was set to expire on December 20, 2024, it will be automatically extended to January 20, 2025. However, it cannot be extended beyond February 28, 2025.

However, if the reservation ended before December 19, 2024, it will not be extended. Such reservations can be renewed after the registries' operations are restored.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is required to make the necessary changes to the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Military Personnel, and Reservists within five days to synchronize the registry data with the approved changes.

Reminder:

Ukraine has experienced the largest-scale cyberattack on state registries in recent times. As a result of the attack carried out by Russian hackers, the operation of key systems of the Ministry of Justice has been temporarily suspended. The hackers claimed to have destroyed all data they accessed, including backup copies on servers in Poland. State registries will take two weeks to restore.

First and foremost, the Ministry of Justice will restore the unified registry of powers of attorney, the unified registry of special forms, notarial documents, and the inheritance registry, which will ensure proper accounting and minimize negative consequences.

The State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection does not confirm any data leak following the cyberattack from Russia.

Former Minister of Justice Denys Maliuska explained that the deletion of registries by the Russians is not a serious issue, as there are backup copies and everything will be restored soon.
