Employees at Insecurity Insight, a Switzerland-based nonprofit, received a string of malicious links and pornographic material on their cell phones after publishing a report last month on Russian attacks on hospitals in Ukraine.
The phishing messages were"on a scale we had never experienced" and came as staff members spent late nights documenting the war's destruction, Christina Wille, the director of Insecurity Insight, told CNN. She suspects it was an attempt to deter her team from reporting on Russia's war in Ukraine.It's just one example of a range of digital threats facing humanitarian-focused organizations as Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no sign of ending his brutal war on Ukraine.
The CyberPeace Institute was able to help Wille, the Insecurity Insight director, assess the hacking attempts aimed at her organization, she said.Help with the basics of cybersecurity— strong passwords, backed-up data and another layer of authentication for logins — can greatly reduce the likelihood that an organizations gets hacked.The alternative, Ogéee said, is unacceptable.
