One of the dogs of war that has so far not barked during the war in Ukraine has been a full-scale Russian cyber offensive. For the past eight years, Ukraine has been on the receiving end of one of the most sustained and vicious hacking campaigns in history. According to Microsoft’s 2021 Digital Defence Report, 58 per cent of all nation state cyber attacks in the world that researchers were able to identify came from Russia. Some security experts expected that the outbreak of war would be accompanied by a huge Russian cyber assault. But, if anything, Ukraine has been taking the fight to the Russians in the cyber domain. Ukraine is now hacking back.
迄今為止，在俄烏戰爭中，有一種禍事還沒有發生——俄羅斯還未發動全面網絡攻擊。過去八年來，烏克蘭一直是史上持續時間最長、最惡毒的黑客攻擊行動之一的受害國。根據微軟(Microsoft)發布的2021年數字防御報告(2021 Digital Defence Report)，研究人員可識別的由國家發動的網絡攻擊中，有58%來自俄羅斯。一些安全領域研究專家曾預計，戰爭的爆發將伴隨著俄羅斯的大規模網絡襲擊。然而，要說有什么不同，那就是烏克蘭已經發起了針對俄羅斯的網絡攻擊。烏克蘭現在正在進行黑客反擊。
