Profile
Luxor is a cinema chain headquartered in Russia. The company primarily engages in the exhibition of films across its venues. In addition to ticket sales, Luxor offers concession services such as food and beverages. It provides an online platform for customers to purchase tickets and select seats. Luxor serves the Russian domestic market, catering to moviegoers throughout the country.
As a cinema chain, Luxor operates multiple movie theaters in various Russian cities. The exact number of venues or annual attendance figures are not disclosed in the available sources. Its positioning places it among the notable commercial entities in Russia's entertainment sector. The company's infrastructure includes both physical auditoriums and digital ticketing systems. These components together enable Luxor to deliver a standard cinema-going experience to its patrons.
On July 11, 2022, Luxor was among the Russian cinema chains hit by a distributed denial‑of‑service (DDoS) attack. The attack disrupted its online ticket‑sales service, preventing customers from purchasing tickets via the web. This incident was part of Ukraine's IT Army hacktivist campaign aimed at reducing Russian state revenue that funds the war. The Luxor attack exemplifies a broader surge in DDoS operations targeting commercial sectors such as banking, media, and civilian services. In response to such incidents, both Russian and Ukrainian entities have strengthened their cyber defenses, reflecting the evolving threat landscape.
