The Russian company Lukoil was the subject of a major cyber-attack on 26 March. The company's entire system has been down since the morning.

Lukoil employees were unable to access their work computers, with the screen displaying a strange message about a malfunction, eerily resembling a hack.

All employees were instructed not to log into their professional accounts using their usernames and passwords to avoid data leakage.
Lukoil is one of the largest Russian oil companies, the second in Russia in terms of oil production.

After a similar attack last year, it took about three days to restore the system.
