A senior figure in Ukraine’s cybersecurity agency reported that the country has been hit with triple the amount of cyberattacks in the last year.
Viktor Zhora, a leading figure in Ukraine’s SSSCIP agency, said Russian cyberattacks are often executed in the form of destructive, disk-erasing wiper malware, while “in some cases, cyberattacks support kinetic effects.”
SSSCIP recently released an analysis of Russia’s cyber strategy and determined that the cyberattacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure last fall were linked to Putin’s sustained bombing campaign.
