They dropped a rail network to stop the attack on Ukraine

Referring to the railways of Belarus, a group calling itself Cyber ​​​​Partizans wrote in :

"BelZhD, on the orders of the terrorist Lukashenko, these days allows the occupying troops to enter our land. As part of the “Peklo” cyber campaign, we encrypted most of BelZhD's servers, databases and workstations in order to slow down and disrupt transfers. The have been destroyed […]."

The team also announced the attack on Twitter.

A spokesperson for the group said the Peklo cyber campaign targets specific entities and government aimed at pressuring the Belarusian government to release political prisoners and prevent Russian troops from entering Belarus to use its territory for attacks in Ukraine.

"The government continues to suppress the free will of Belarusians, imprison innocent people, continue to detain thousands of political prisoners. "Our main goal is to overthrow Lukashenko's regime, to maintain sovereignty and to build a democratic state governed by the rule of law, with independent institutions and the protection of human rights."

So many services on the railway site were not available. Online ticket purchases, for example, do not work.

Russia is reportedly sending military equipment and personnel by rail to Belarus, which borders Ukraine. @Belzhd_live, a group of Belarusian railway workers monitoring a 5.512-kilometer railway network, said Friday that in one week, more than 33 Russian military trains loaded with equipment and troops arrived in Belarus.
