One of the dogs of war that has so far not barked during the war in Ukraine has been a full-scale Russian cyber offensive. For the past eight years, Ukraine has been on the receiving end of one of the most sustained and vicious hacking campaigns in history. According to Microsoft’s 2021 Digital Defence Report, 58 per cent of all nation state cyber attacks in the world that researchers were able to identify came from Russia. Some security experts expected that the outbreak of war would be accompanied by a huge Russian cyber assault. But, if anything, Ukraine has been taking the fight to the Russians in the cyber domain. Ukraine is now hacking back.
迄今为止，在俄乌战争中，有一种祸事还没有发生——俄罗斯还未发动全面网络攻击。过去八年来，乌克兰一直是史上持续时间最长、最恶毒的黑客攻击行动之一的受害国。根据微软(Microsoft)发布的2021年数字防御报告(2021 Digital Defence Report)，研究人员可识别的由国家发动的网络攻击中，有58%来自俄罗斯。一些安全领域研究专家曾预计，战争的爆发将伴随着俄罗斯的大规模网络袭击。然而，要说有什么不同，那就是乌克兰已经发起了针对俄罗斯的网络攻击。乌克兰现在正在进行黑客反击。
