Russia is also using cyber attacks against Ukraine. The British Ministry of Defense is now reporting malware that is most likely intended to steal sensitive information from the Ukrainian military.
According to British estimates, Russia is also continuing its cyber war against Ukraine. The Russian hacker group “Sandworm” used malware called “Infamous Chisel”, the Ministry of Defense said in London.
It enables permanent access to compromised Android devices and the tapping of data. This would also target applications by the Ukrainian military. “‘Infamous Chisel’ was most likely used with the aim of stealing sensitive military information,” the British said, citing an analysis by their National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) that was published a few days ago.
“This activity demonstrates that Russia continues to use cyber capabilities to support the invasion of Ukraine.” The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
