"New data from Check Point Research (CPR) shows that cyber warfare has
escalated in line with the Russia–Ukraine war. Notable trends include a shift
in cyber attacks on NATO countries.
CPR says September 2022 marked a turning point, with weekly cyber attacks
against Ukraine decreasing by 44% (period to February 2023), while attacks on
NATO countries increased nearly 57% in some cases, for the same period. CPR
lists wipers, multi-pronged attacks and hacktivism as key trends and forces as
factors in the pivot.
Threat Intelligence Group Manager at Check Point Research Sergey Shykevich has
spoken to the trends CPR has observed over the year-long conflict.
“We see a change in the direction of cyber attacks at a specific point during
the war. Starting the third quarter of 2022, we see a decline in the attacks
against Ukraine, while also seeing increases in the attacks against certain
NATO countries. We see the deployed efforts especially against specific NATO
countries that are more hostile to Russia. Some of those attacks are malware
attacks, and some of those are focused on information operations around
specific political, geo-political and military events,” Shykevich said."
