    Russia Increased Cyber Espionage Against Countries Supporting Ukraine, Microsoft Says
    By Dustin Volz, June 22, 2022, WSJ

    Since the war began Feb. 24, Microsoft said it had detected Russian network intrusion efforts on 128 targets in 42 countries outside Ukraine, which cyber firms and the Ukrainian government have said has also suffered a regular onslaught of Russian
    cyberattacks. Many of the alleged Russian attacks were unsuccessful and smaller in scale than what many experts initially anticipated. Microsoft said in April that half a dozen hacking groups linked to the Russian government had attempted hundreds of
    cyberattacks in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion, including dozens intended to destroy computer systems.

    Overall, 63% of the global tally of Russia-linked attacks were against NATO members, Microsoft said, and those geographically closest to Ukraine have sustained the most attacks, with Poland enduring more than any other in the region. The targets have
    included Baltic countries, and during the past two months Microsoft said it had seen an increase in activity against computer networks in Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Turkey, as well as the targeting of foreign ministries in other countries that
    are part of NATO.

    So far just under a third of the alleged cyber-espionage attacks successfully compromised the targets, Microsoft said, and at least a quarter of those successes have led to confirmed theft of data.

    Russia has also increased its use of cyber-enabled influence operations against both domestic and international audiences in an attempt to boost its war goals, efforts that have included the deliberate spread of false narratives intended to undermine
    Western unity with Ukraine, Microsoft said.

    The best contribution you can make is to kill yourself, which besides
    an indisputable positive effect for the environment, would also reduce
    the abuse of the non-related to China trolling in this newsgroup.

    LOL. If there's anyone less credible than Microsoft in their public statements, it's the Russian government and their apologists.

    This one goes to Microsoft.

    The Russian (and Chinese, btw) governments are among the most dishonest on earth today. Don't let the trolls fool you.

    Next!

    Agree.
    At the same time, it is the bread and butter for some cyber-security companies. Without frequent news of cyber attacks, how else could they land public as well as private contracts.
