Russian internet provider SkyNet reports outages after cyberattack claimed by Ukrainian hackers

SkyNet, a major internet provider in St. Petersburg, Russia, experienced a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack beginning October 6, 2026, disrupting gaming, voice calls, and video conferencing services. Ukrainian hackers claimed responsibility for the incident.

Why it matters: Practitioners managing infrastructure in or connected to Russian networks should monitor for service degradation and prepare incident response procedures; those tracking nation-state activity should assess attribution and potential escalation patterns.
