Russian state-sponsored hackers have inundated Ukrainian targets with a “near-constant digital attack” in the year since the invasion, Alphabet Inc.’s Google said in a new report.
In a report released Thursday ahead of the Munich Security Conference, Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) said that Russian government-backed attackers increased their attempted hacks on Ukrainian users last year by 250% compared with 2020. The company used 2020 as a baseline because there was an increase in attacks in the run-up to the war.
