Major industrial and government targets in the Ukraine and Russia have been hit by a large cyberattack. Though services haven’t been severely impacted from an outside perspective, some big-name targets have been affected. Among those are Russia’s Rosneft oil producer and Evraz metal company.
In the Ukraine, a banking system, the Boryspil airport, a power distributor, and the government were impacted.
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant was also infected, forcing the plant to switch to manual radiation monitoring.
Information is just now becoming available, so it’s not clear where these attacks originated. Some of the same Ukrainian targets were hit last year, presumably by Russia. Yet this situation has affected targets in both countries.
