Russian cyberattack and the situation with registries
on December 19, 2024, Ukraine suffered one of the largest external cyberattacks that affected state registries. the Russian Federation launched a cyberattack on state registries that are under the competence of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. The hackers paralyzed dozens of key systems, which led to the suspension of important services and jeopardized the safety of critical data.

First, the Ministry of Justice will restore the Unified Register of Powers of Attorney, the Unified Register of Special Forms of Notarial Documents and the Inheritance Register. This will ensure proper data accounting and minimize the negative impact of potential unlawful notarial acts.
The next priority is to restore the State Register of Civil Status Acts, the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, and the State Register of Real Estate Rights and Encumbrances.
