US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Graham Steele spoke about this during a speech at a conference on catastrophic cyber threats in New York, Radio Liberty reports.
She noted that this is three times more than in the period before the full-scale Russian invasion.
In particular:
- within weeks of the invasion, Russian state cyber actors carried out a wave of cyber attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, including several attacks on financial companies;
- Russia has coordinated devastating cyberattacks targeting Ukraine, network infiltration and espionage in countries perceived as allies of Ukraine, and cyber influence operations targeting people around the world.
Stol emphasized that cyber activity in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not limited to government actors.
We observed that non-state cyber actors on both sides of the conflict were attacking a wide range of organizations, including in the financial services sector, through relatively low-level incidents known as distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks,” she noted.
