attacks observed
, 32% targeted the Ukrainian government at various levels and 40% could have negatively affected the government, military, economy, and civilian population.
Tom Burt, Microsofts corporate vice president of customer security and trust, explained that the company wanted to reveal the extent that cyber activities play a role in Russias invasion of Ukraine so the international community can mount an appropriate response.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Russian cyberattacks have been deployed to support the military’s strategic and tactical objectives, Burt wrote in
his blog post about the reports findings
. It’s likely the attacks we’ve observed are only a fraction of activity targeting Ukraine.
