Russian Foreign Ministry Website Offline Amidst Persistent Outages
The Russian Foreign Ministry's website is currently offline due to persistent outages. The cause of these disruptions remains unclear, with no publicly available information on technical services investigating the issue. Attempts to access the site result in a 'Page unavailable' message.
The website's unavailability comes amidst a backdrop of Russia's past involvement in cyber attacks. In 2022, Russia was accused of hacking US judicial databases. Meanwhile, hacktivism, though declining, continues to pose a significant threat.
A recent report suggests that espionage and financial gain motivate nearly 90% of cyber attacks in the first half of 2025. In August, the Russian Foreign Ministry itself accused Ukrainian authorities of supporting hackers and online fraudsters.
As of now, the Russian Foreign Ministry's website remains inaccessible due to frequent outages. While the cause is unknown, the incident occurs within a context of ongoing cyber threats and past accusations of Russian involvement in hacking activities.
