Russian hackers continue to target Pinchuk's channels

The StarLight Media channels have already suffered three Russian attacks. Hackers continued to interfere with the signal of Ukrainian TV channels after the broadcasting was restored, reports "Detector Media", citing the media group's press office.

On May 9, 2024, Russian hackers broke into the satellite livestream of the StarLightMedia channels and Inter to broadcast the Red Square parade in Moscow. The signal of the StarLightMedia channels and Inter was eventually restored. The channels promptly launched the security protocol to shut down the signal.

However, new attacks followed after that.

According to StarLight Media, after the broadcast was restored at 11:27, interference with the satellite signal began again; SES disabled the signal at 11:29. At 12:43, the channels' livestream was switched on. However, at 12:51 a new attack featuring content replacement began. As a result, the broadcast was shut down again at 12:55 p.m.
