Ukraine Sees Russian Cyberattacks Growing More Sophisticated

A senior Ukrainian official said Russian cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated and have become daily occurrences aimed at disrupting vital infrastructure during wartime.

Deputy Foreign Minister Anton Demokhin, who’s also the ministry’s chief digital transformation officer, said hackers continue to target government bodies, security agencies and commercial businesses including financial institutions to try to disrupt services and acquire personal data. While Ukraine is largely able to deter the attempts, “they’re effective in the sense that we do put in a lot of effort” to prevent them, he said during an interview in Singapore.
