Cyberattack disrupts parking payments in Russian city

The city of Perm restored its automated parking payment system after a large-scale DDoS attack knocked the service offline from March 10–13, temporarily making parking free while officials suspended payments and waived penalties. The report frames the incident as part of a broader trend of cyberattacks affecting Russian municipal services and companies (including prior incidents in Krasnodar and a destructive October 2024 attack in Tver claimed by the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance), but states there is no confirmed attribution for the Perm outage.
