Sandworm, a group linked to Russia's foreign military intelligence agency might be behind a recent cyberattack in Ukraine, said cybersecurity company ESET. The hacking team allegedly deployed SwiftSlice . Once executed, the SwiftSlicer deletes shadow copies, recursively overwrites files in the system and non-system drives and then reboots the compu...

Cybersecurity incidents have increased due to geopolitics such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while the attacks have been more damaging and widespread, according to a report by EU cybersecurity agency ENISA.

Spain's defence minister Margarita Robles has warned of a possible cyberattack during the NATO summit in Madrid next week.

Microsoft has alleged that Russian spies have targeted Ukraine's allies in 48 countries including UK since Russia invaded the country on February 24. The state-backed Russian hackers have engaged in “strategic espionage” against governments, think tanks, businesses and aid groups, said Microsoft.

Ukrainian officials’ phones have been targeted by hackers as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine, claims a senior cybersecurity official. Victor Zhora, the deputy head of Ukraine's State Special Communications Service, said that phones being used by the country's public servants had come under sustained targeting.

A handful of hacker groups aligned with the Russian government have carried out hundreds of cyberattacks against Ukraine since Moscow invaded, US tech giant Microsoft said in a report Wednesday.

Beanstalk stablecoin protocol lost $182 million (roughly Rs. 1,389 crore) in ETH and native BEAN crypto tokens after hackers exploited a security flaw in its new code upgrades. The protocol’s reimbursement plans for the victims of this attack remain unclear. A chunk of the stolen funds have been donated by the holder to a Ukrainian relief wallet.

Ukraine said that it recently stopped a cyberattack attempt by Russian hackers to damage its electricity grid. The aim of the attack was to disable a number of facilities such as electricity substations, which would support Russian military activities in eastern Ukraine.

Hackers aligned with Russia broke into the social media accounts of dozens of Ukrainian military officers and were working to upload videos of defeated and surrendering Ukrainian soldiers when the plot was disrupted, according to a report from Meta that details a troubling increase in social media disinformation this year.
