CyberResistance (Ukrainian: КіберСпротив) – is a team of Ukrainian hacktivists which participates in Russian - Ukrainian cyber warfare on the Ukrainian side. The team conducts hacking of electronic mailboxes and web resources related to the military, propaganda and state administrative organizations of the Russian Federation.
Since the beginning of 2023, Cyber Resistance has been publishing on the Telegram social network a large number of materials obtained through hacking, as well as analytical notes based on the information obtained from these materials. In addition, the CyberResistance materials became a starting point for investigations performed by the InformNapalm community and journalists in several countries outside of Ukraine. In its activities, CyberResistance cooperates with the Center of National Resistance, the volunteer association Center "Myrotvorets" and others.
