The local authorities of Ukraine are one of the main targets of Russian hackers.
This was reported by the press service of the State Special Communications Service.
Since the beginning of this year, specialists from the governmental computer emergency response team CERT-UA have been registering a significant number of attacks on local governments (the second largest number). It should be noted that a year ago, the second place was occupied by the security and defense sector, the department notes.
The State Special Communications Service notes that such a high proportion of attacks specifically on local authorities indicates not only that this segment is of interest to hackers, but also that local authorities are still insufficiently protected from the enemy, which is usually due to a lack of funds. and professionals.
In the first place for the number of attacks by Russian hackers – the central authorities.
In general, the main goal of Russian hackers remains civilian infrastructure, the State Special Communications Service emphasizes.
