1. Ukrainian digital army prepares cyberattacks to counter Russian offensive
The hundreds-strong Ukrainian volunteer “hacker” corps that formed in a fury to counter Russia’s blitzkrieg attack is much more than a paramilitary cyberattack force.
On the other hand, Mykhailo Fedorov who is Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation announced and endorse the creation of a volunteer cyber army calling itself the IT Army of Ukraine, which now counts 290,000 followers on Telegram.
Zhora, a top Ukrainian cybersecurity official, said one job of Ukrainian volunteers is to obtain intelligence that can be used to attack Russian military systems. According to Zhora, it can be presumed that Russian hackers continued trying to spread destructive malware in targeted email attacks on Ukrainian officials and — in what he considers a new tactic — to infect the devices of individual citizens. The deputy chair of the state special communications service anticipates an escalation in Russia’s cyber aggression — many experts believe far worse is yet to come.
