Cyber Conflict between Russia and Ukraine Escalates

Matt Warren, the director of the Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation at RMIT University, has urged local organizations to prepare for a range of attack scenarios. These include denial of service campaigns, website defacement, and ransomware. As tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue, there is a high likelihood of more attacks against critical infrastructure in the region. The U.S., for example, has been hit the most by cybercrime groups, including the Conti ransomware group. The goal of these attacks is to degrade the credibility of the United States in the West.
