Paid articlePaywallMicrosoft Reports Hundreds of Russian-Linked Cyberattacks in UkraineNearly 40 destructive incidents affected hundreds of Ukrainian systems, Microsoft reported.
- At least six groups linked to Russia’s government attempted hundreds of cyberattacks since the February invasion, including dozens intended to destroy systems.
- Microsoft observed nearly 40 destructive attacks against hundreds of systems; about one-third directly targeted Ukrainian government entities.
- More than 40% targeted critical infrastructure sectors, potentially affecting Ukraine’s government, military, economy and population.
- Ukraine’s cyber defenses repelled some attacks, while debilitating or nationwide disruption has so far largely been avoided.
The attacks have not only degraded the systems of institutions in Ukraine but have also sought to disrupt people's access to reliable information and critical life services, and have attempted to shake confidence in the country’s leadership.— Tom Burt, Microsoft’s vice president of customer security and trust, said in a blog post accompanying the research.
