This was reported by the State Special Communications and Information Protection Service, according to Ukrinform.

“The State Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine CERT-UA, operating under the State Special Communications Service, reports on the mass distribution of dangerous e-mails with the headings “Information Bulletin” and “War Order”. E-mail addresses in particular, apparently from the Academy of the National Security Service of Ukraine,” reads the message.

According to cyber experts, opening the attachments contained in the letters will lead to the launch of the malicious program GammaLoad.PS1_v2 on the computer.

The attack is linked to group UAC-0010 (Armageddon). This Russian FSB hacking group is one of those who have been actively attacking Ukraine’s critical information infrastructure since the beginning of the full-scale military invasion of Russia.

The State Intelligence Service notes that cybercriminals often use painful subjects for Ukrainians. For example, during a similar attack in May, members of Armageddon speculated about occupied Kherson.

As reported by Ukrinform, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Russian Federation has carried out 796 cyberattacks on Ukraine, which is three times more than in the same period last year.
