February 24, 2022 saw a massive wave of pseudo-ransomware and wiper attacks indiscriminately affecting Ukrainian entities. Some were highly sophisticated, but the volume of wiper and ransomware attacks quickly subsided after the initial wave, with a limited number of notable incidents subsequently reported. Ideologically-motivated groups that presented themselves in the original wave of attacks appear to be inactive now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On&nbsp;February&nbsp;24, Europeans relying on the ViaSat-owned satellite&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NordnetOFFICIEL\/status\/1496774782527979523\">faced<\/a>&nbsp;major internet access disruptions.

The ViaSat sabotage once again demonstrates cyberattacks are a basic building block for modern armed conflicts and may directly support key milestones in military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a>As the conflict has evolved, there is no evidence that the cyberattacks were part of coordinated military actions on either side. However, there are some main characteristics that defined the 2022 cyber confrontation:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hacktivists and DDoS attacks.&nbsp;<\/strong>The conflict in Ukraine has created a breeding ground for new cyberwarfare activity from various groups including cybercriminals and hacktivists, rushing to support their favorite side. Some groups such as the IT Army of Ukraine or Killnet have been officially supported by governments and their Telegram channels include hundreds of thousands of subscribers. While the attacks performed by hacktivists had relatively low complexity, the experts witnessed a spike in DDoS activity during summer period \u2013 both in number of attacks and their duration: in 2022, an average DDoS attack lasted 18.5 hours \u2013 almost 40 times longer compared to 2021 (approx. 28 minutes).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Total duration,In days<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Week number<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hack and leak.<\/strong>&nbsp;The more sophisticated attacks attempted to hijack media attention with hack-and-leak operations, and have been on the rise since the beginning of the conflict. Such attacks involve breaching an organization and publishing its internal data online, often via a dedicated website. This is significantly more difficult than a simple defacing operation, since not all machines contain internal data worth releasing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poisoned open source repositories, weaponizing open source software<\/strong>. As the conflict drags on, popular open source packages can be used as a protest or attack platform by developers or hackers alike. The impact from such attacks can extend wider than the open source software itself, propagating in other packages that automatically rely on the trojanized code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balkanization.<\/strong>&nbsp;Following the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, many western companies are exiting the Russian market and leaving their users in a delicate position when it comes to receiving security updates or support \u2013 and the security updates are probably the top issue when vendors end support for products or leave the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cFrom February 24 onwards, we\u2019ve been puzzled with a question, if cyberspace is a true reflection of the conflict in Ukraine, it represents the pinnacle of a real, modern \u201ccyberwar\u201d. By going through all the events that followed military operations in cyberspace, we witnessed&nbsp;an absence of coordination between cyber and kinetic means, and in many ways downgraded cyber-offense to a subordinate role. Ransomware attacks observed in the first weeks of the conflict qualify as distractions at best. Kinetic attacks using missiles and&nbsp;unmanned aerial vehicles have once again proven to be a more effective method of targeting infrastructure than cyberattacks. Nevertheless, collateral damage and cyber risks have grown for organizations in nearby countries due to the conflict, requiring advanced defensive measures more than ever,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;comments Costin Raiu, Director of Global Research &amp; Analysis Team at Kaspersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full report on the 2022 cyber confrontation\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/securelist.com\/reassessing-cyberwarfare-lessons-learned-in-2022\/108328\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at Securelist.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are part of Kaspersky Security Bulletin (KSB) \u2013 an annual series of predictions and analytical reports on key shifts within the cybersecurity world.
