In recent weeks, the Russian government is believed to have initiated a handful of cyberattacks against Ukraine.
Russia annexed a portion of Ukraine in 2014.
The Russian troop buildup has prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at defusing tension.
Days later, President Joe Bidenurged Americans in Ukraine to leaverather than risk getting caught in a potential invasion.
He pointed to theNotPetyaattack, which crippled computers across Ukraine in 2017.
The malware locked up files like criminal ransomware would.
NotPetya did what it was intended to do – wreak havoc in Ukraine.
“That’s sending a signal that cyber can’t.”
Both those attacks were attributed to cybercriminals in Russia.
