The Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine warned today of a spearphishing campaign targeting private email accounts belonging to Ukrainian armed forces personnel.
The phishing emails are being sent from two domains, the former trying to impersonate the i.ua free Internet portal providing email services to Ukrainians since 2008.
"Mass phishing emails have recently been observed targeting private 'i.ua' and 'meta.ua' accounts of Ukrainian military personnel and related individuals," CERT-UA said earlier today.
"After the account is compromised, the attackers, by the IMAP protocol, get access to all the messages. Later, the attackers use contact details from the victim's address book to send the phishing emails."
Today, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine also warned Ukrainian citizens of another active phishing campaign targeting them with malicious documents.
The February DDoS and malware attacks that hit Ukrainian networks align with the Security Service Ukraine saying just over a week ago that the country is being targeted by a "Massive wave of hybrid warfare."
