23 Oct
Summary
- Russia is attacking Ukraine's digital infrastructure with the same intensity as its power grid.
- Ten data centers in Kyiv were reportedly struck last month alone by Russian forces.
- AI-aided cyberattacks on state systems and businesses are on the rise.
Russia is relentlessly targeting Ukraine's digital infrastructure, employing a strategy mirroring its attacks on the country's energy sector. Last month, ten data centers in the capital city of Kyiv were struck as part of this intensified digital assault. Prime Minister Sergiy Koretskyi highlighted the growing threat of AI-aided cyberattacks aimed at both state information systems and businesses.
According to the Prime Minister, Ukraine's key digital agencies are already utilizing AI to successfully repel these cyber threats. He has urged all state agencies and institutions to achieve a comparable level of readiness. This escalation in cyber warfare occurs as Moscow's forces also intensify strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter.
