KYIV, Ukraine -- Hackers on Friday temporarily shut down dozens of Ukrainian government websites, causing no major damage but adding to simmering tensions while Russia amasses troops on the Ukrainian border. Separately, in a rare gesture to the U.S. at a time of chilly relations, Russia said it had arrested members of a major ransomware gang that targeted U.S. entities.
The White House said President Biden had been briefed on the disruptions, which targeted about 70 websites of national and regional government bodies.
Ukrainian officials say it is too soon to say who was behind it, but point to a long record of Russian cyber assaults against Ukraine.
