The United Kingdom has accused Russia of conducting a cyber campaign aimed at disrupting and undermining support for Ukraine.
The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) issued a statement detailing the alleged attacks.
According to the UK, the Russian cyber activity targeted various sectors, including government bodies, organizations involved in humanitarian aid, and media outlets.
The attacks reportedly involved phishing attempts, attempts to gain unauthorized access to systems, and the spread of disinformation.
The alleged goal of the campaign was to sow distrust in Ukraine’s allies and hamper the flow of vital aid and support.
The FCDO statement did not provide specific details about the exact timing or methods used in the cyberattacks, only alleging they were ongoing.
The UK government has vowed to work with its allies to counter the Russian cyber activities and protect critical infrastructure.
This announcement follows similar allegations made by other Western nations regarding Russian cyber operations.
The Russian government has not yet issued an official response to the UK’s accusations.
