In Ukraine, the CERT-UA computer emergency response team recorded almost four thousand cyber incidents from January 2022 to September 2023.

US Deputy Treasury Secretary Graham Steele announced this while speaking at a conference on disruptive cyber threats in New York, Ukrinform reported, citing Radio Liberty.

According to him, this is three times more than before the full-scale occupation.

Steele noted that in the weeks following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian state cyber actors launched a wave of cyberattacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, including several attacks on financial companies.

He added that Russia is coordinating devastating cyber attacks against Ukraine, network infiltration and espionage in countries perceived as Ukraine’s allies, as well as cyber influence operations against people around the world.

The US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury stated that cyber activity in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not limited to “government actors”. “We have seen non-state cyber actors on both sides of the conflict attack a wide range of organizations, including the financial services industry, using relatively simple events known as distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks,” Steele said.

As reported, in May Ukraine officially joined NATO’s center for advanced technologies for cyber defense (CCDCOE).

According to Deputy Prime Minister for the Development of Innovation, Education, Science and Technology and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, from January to June 2023, computer emergency response teams processed 762 cyber incidents; All cyber attacks were repelled.
