Cybersecurity incidents targeting Kyiv reportedly grew by 123% in the first six months of this year.
Ukraine’s energy infrastructure was also targeted with cyberattacks last year and is expected to happen again this year.
“There’s been a change in direction, from a focus on energy facilities towards law enforcement institutions which had previously not been targeted that often,” Shchyhol said. Russia’s foreign ministry and the federal security service did not immediately respond to written requests from Reuters for comment. Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency could not be reached for comment.
On Tuesday, the Netherlands-based International Criminal Court , said it had detected “unusual activity” on its computer network at the end of last week. It was still not clear on Friday who was behind the hack. An attempt by a Russian intelligence hacking group dubbed “Sandworm” to launch a destructive cyberattack against Ukraine’s electricity grid was thwarted in April 2022.
