Google says it has been working around the clock alongside other Big Tech companies to fight Russian cyberattackers waging a digital war against Ukraine,
The tech Titan published a “Fog of War” report Thursday saying the Ukrainian government is under “near-constant digital attack” from Russia, including via its military intelligence service, the GRU.
The U.S. government is among those teaming with tech companies to benefit Ukraine. The intelligence community is counting on tech companies, including Microsoft, to assist in fighting Russian cyberattackers. The Conti ransomware gang splintered along political and geographical lines during Russia’s invasion last year. Google said some former members of Conti had repurposed their techniques to target Ukraine under the banner of an attacker identified as UAC-0098.
The company reported seeing Russian government-backed cyberattackers driving a 250% increase in phishing campaigns targeting Ukrainian users in 2022 and a 300% increase in phishing campaigns aiming at NATO countries for 2022, compared with a 2020 baseline. “The majority of the techniques that are effective, the malicious techniques that are effective, are not new,” Mr. Sorensen said. “They’re not zero days or novel sort of things that are taken off the shelf and used.”
The government has described the role of the collaborative’s companies as defensive rather than offensive, with a focus on preventing attacks and limiting damage.
