Russia-linked hackers have compromised the email accounts of scores of Ukrainian prosecutors, according to exclusive data obtained by Reuters. The cyberattack represents a significant breach of Ukraine's judicial communications infrastructure during the ongoing conflict.

The compromised accounts belong to prosecutors across Ukraine's legal system, though the exact number of affected officials and the scope of accessed information was not immediately clear. The breach highlights the continued cyber warfare component of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Ukrainian government institutions facing persistent digital attacks.

Cybersecurity experts have documented numerous instances of Russian-affiliated hacking groups targeting Ukrainian government agencies, military communications, and civilian infrastructure since the conflict began. Prosecutor offices handle sensitive legal cases and communications that could be valuable for intelligence gathering.

The timing and method of the email compromises were not detailed in the available information. Ukrainian authorities have not yet issued a public statement regarding the breach or any potential impact on ongoing legal proceedings.
