Since declaring cyber war against Russia , the hacker collective has claimed credit for infiltrating the Russian Ministry of Defence database, carrying out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Russian government websites, and hacking multiple state TV channels to show pro-Ukraine content. Nonetheless, several claimed hacks were verified, among them the handiwork of the hacktivist group Anonymous. Checkpoint Security had observed, however, that numerous hacks that these groups claimed to have executed were either false or insignificant, and that the groups appear more focused on “building self-reputation and receiving credit” for supporting either combatant than causing real damage. Amidst the international outcry against the military offensive, hacker groups were observed to pick sides, carrying out cyber attacks against organisations in one country on behalf of the other. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. CSA provides periodic updates to these bulletins when there are new developments. CyberSense is a monthly bulletin by CSA that spotlights salient cybersecurity topics, trends and technologies, based on curated articles and commentaries.
