Ukrainian special services thwarted an attempted breach by Russian hackers into the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ combat information system, according to the SBU security service. The hackers reportedly aimed to access sensitive data about the Ukrainian military’s actions, locations, and support systems. The responsibility for the attack was attributed to a sophisticated Russian hacking team known as Sandworm. The attempts have increased since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, but Russia denies such accusations.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Attempt Thwarted: Ukrainian special services, specifically the SBU, successfully prevented Russian hackers from infiltrating the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ combat information system.
  2. Target Information: The hackers sought access to sensitive information, including details about actions, locations, and the movement of the Ukrainian Defence Forces, as well as their technical support systems.
  3. Sophisticated Attack: The responsibility for this attempted cyber-attack is placed on a skilled Russian hacking team known as Sandworm, which had planned to use Ukrainian military tablets to spread viruses within the battle system.
  4. Increased Attempts Since Invasion: Ukraine has noted a significant increase in hacking attempts targeting government, armed forces, and energy sector systems since the onset of the Russian invasion in February 2022.
  5. Russian Denial: Despite the consistent reports and evidence, Russia continues to deny involvement in any hacking activities targeting Ukraine.
