Investigators Prepare for Another Cyberattack Targeting Ukraine

As investigators in Ukraine continue to trace a January cyberattack that disrupted government websites and wiped data on computer systems, government officials and cybersecurity experts are preparing for another incident. During last month’s attack, 90 websites, operated by 22 Ukrainian organizations, were defaced and a form of malicious software masquerading as ransomware destroyed a few dozen computers in two government agencies, according to Viktor Zhora, deputy chief of Ukraine’s State Service of Special Communication and Information Protection.
