De la vigilance pour 1 année de (cyber)guerre

L’agence américaine de cybersécurité et de sécurité des infrastructures (CISA) a averti les États-Unis et leurs alliés européens de rester vigilants face aux menaces cybernétiques, alors que l’invasion à grande échelle de l’Ukraine par la Russie atteint son premier anniversaire.

Des attaques perturbatrices et de défiguration de sites Web ont été ainsi menées le 24 février 2023, jour anniversaire de l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie en 2022.

Bien que les experts aient averti des capacités cybernétiques russes depuis l’invasion, aucune opération de grande envergure en dehors de l’Ukraine n’a encore été enregistrée. Les opérations de cyberattaques de Moscou ont néanmoins augmenté de plus de 300% pour les utilisateurs des pays de l’OTAN de 2020 à 2022, selon un rapport de Google, bien que la plupart soient encore concentrées sur l’Ukraine.
