The Russian city of Perm has restored its automated parking payment system after a large-scale DDoS attack last week that knocked the service offline and left parking temporarily free. It is at least the third such disruption affecting Russian city parking and related services in recent years, with previous incidents in Krasnodar and Tver (the latter claimed by the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance), though no group has claimed responsibility for the Perm attack. #Perm #UkrainianCyberAlliance
