Hackers targeted the Ukrainian government with threatening text warning Ukrainians to “be afraid and wait for the worst” and alleging their personal information has been hacked. Ukraine claimed Russia was most likely behind the attack, which affected the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, the treasury, the national emergency service, and the state services, where Ukrainians’ electronic passports and vaccination certificates are stored. Ukraine’s communication intelligence service said in a statement that as many as 70 central and regional authority websites were attacked.
