Cybercriminals are targeting Ukrainian sympathizers, what can you do to remain safe?

Cisco Talos published findings March 12 detailing a number of malware items being disguised as offensive cyber tools against Russian entities, when in actuality, the virus is designed to infect users who download the software.

Cybercriminals are purportedly attempting to exploit unwitting users looking to assist Ukraine in its online defense against an invading Russia.

Cybercriminals who are not Russian-affiliated are also looking to obtain access to crypto wallets as well, due to the difficulty of tracking where crypto may be routed to in the event of an attack.

DDoS attacks remain illegal to run and even though a user may want to aid Ukraine in its cyber defenses against Russia.
