Microsoft details cyber attacks on Ukrainian civilian communications, nuclear safety authorities, and the exploitation of the destruction of Mariupol in a phishing campaign.
A new report by Microsoft highlights that at least 237 cyberattacks were conducted by Russia-linked hackers on Ukraine, in cahoot with its military attacks on the country.
Most of the attacks have been on government organizations or critical infrastructure providers in the country, according to a Microsoft investigation.
Microsoft says cyberattacks by state-backed Russian hackers have destroyed data across dozens of organizations in Ukraine and produced a "chaotic information environment."
Hacking groups backed by the Kremlin have launched close to 40 destructive cyberattacks on Ukraine's government and critical infrastructure since Russia's invasion of the country, and began setting the stage for their intrusions as early as March 2021, Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday.
