Security News > 2021 > February > Russian hackers linked to attack targeting Ukrainian government
The System of Electronic Interaction of Executive Bodies hacked in this attack is used by most public authorities to share documents, as the country's national security and defense agency explained.
The attack belongs to the so-called supply chain attacks.
"According to the scenario, the attack belongs to the so-called supply chain attacks," the NSDC added.
While the Ukrainian cybersecurity agency did not attribute this attack to a specific Russian APT group, it did provide indicators of compromise to allow security admins to detect and block future attacks using the same infrastructure.
On Monday, the NSDC also accused threat actors with Russian-ties of launching DDoS attacks on Ukrainian government sites, including those of the Security Service of Ukraine, and the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
One day after the Security Service of Ukraine published a press release on the Egregor arrests, the SBU's website was hit by a DDoS attack and became inaccessible.
