Roseltorg loses huge amount of data

Russia’s premier electronic trading hub, Roseltorg, has been brought to its knees by a pro-Ukraine hacker squad, Yellow Drift.

Yellow Drift claims it wiped out a staggering 550 terabytes of data. Roseltorg confirmed its services had been put on ice but remained tight-lipped on specifics.

 Roseltorg's recent Telegram said: "an external attempt to destroy data and the entire infrastructure of electronic trading." However, Roseltorg assures the faithful that all wrecked data and systems have been miraculously resurrected, with operations set to reboot soon. Yet, its website is still MIA.

Yellow Drift boasted it blitzed Roseltorg and published snapshots of the carnage on their Telegram channel.

The hackers declared, "If you support tyranny and sponsor wars, be prepared to return to the Stone Age."

Roseltorg's clientele includes government bodies, state-owned enterprises, and suppliers. Following Roseltorg's confession, frantic clients flocked to the comments section, voicing fears of financial meltdown and procurement pandemonium

 Roseltorg, trying to keep the calm, announced that once their systems roar back to life, all deadlines for contracts and procedures will get an automatic extension, no special requests needed.
