AdvertisementIn Russia, however, "they have the expertise but not necessarily the service providers who sit in front of organisations to detect and deflect DDoS attacks," Woodward added. AdvertisementSuch attacks may also help "support defensive movements of the Ukrainian army," said Vasileios Karagiannopoulos, an associate professor in cybercrime and cybersecurity at the University of Portsmouth. Advertisement"The IT Army is managed by the SBU and the Ukrainian MoD," Soesanto said, adding that they receive support from Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation. Ted told BI that "the MoD does not run the IT army, but there is collaboration to ensure efforts are synchronized." Ukraine's Ministry of Defense did not respond to a request for comment from BI on the nature of its relationship with the IT army.

Hackers said they bought sex toys with money a Russian war supporter was going to spend on drones. The Cyber Resistance group said on Telegram on Monday that it hacked Mikhail Luchin's AliExpress account, and used it to buy $25,000 worth of sex toys. It said the money was going to be spent on drones for the Russian army, according to Politico's translation. Luchin also said in a post that he will open a sex shop, make a 300% profit, and buy three times more drones. Ukrainian hackers and hackers from other countries have helped Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022.

Online broadcasts of Vladimir Putin's annual speech were interrupted on Tuesday. A pro-Ukraine hacking group has claimed responsibility for a DDoS cyberattack. Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency, meanwhile, said disruptions to the broadcast were the result of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Though it is not clear who or what was behind the outages, at least one pro-Ukraine hacking group has claimed responsibility. Newsweek reported that another hacking group claiming to work on behalf of Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalny also claimed responsibility, saying it caused the disruption along with "other hackers."
☆ I helped create a 'cyber army' to help Ukraine defeat Russia. We can't fight with guns, but we can fight with our laptops.

Yegor Aushev appealed for volunteers for a "cyber army" to help Ukraine defeat Russia. Within the first few days of the war, we separated the cyber army into groups of between 7 to 10 people. Our call for decentralized cyber army volunteers is probably what inspired others to create their own groups, such as Ukraine's IT army, formed a few days later by the minister of digitization, Mykhailo Fedorov. Another project involved using tech to recognize who was in photos left by Russian soldiers in Bucha near Kyiv. If it was a couple hundred Russian SIMs, of course it's Russian soldiers and not tourists.
☆ Why the Ukrainian tech company N-iX refused to quit working as Russia unleashed intense strikes that knocked out power across Lviv: 'The sector is banding together'

N-iX, an IT firm with a big presence in Lviv, described how it'd managed amid the latest attacks. But like many Ukrainian companies, N-iX was prepared with a contingency plan that allowed it to continue servicing clients in the attack's aftermath. "It started in the morning," Deshchynskyy told Insider. Ukrainian tech workers and companies have rallied to help the war effort, including by joining the "IT army" and providing tech services for the military. And just two weeks ago, N-iX was the main partner at the annual IT Arena tech conference, which was held in Lviv.
☆ Zelenskyy praised Elon Musk's Starlink for saving Ukraine from Russian propaganda in Wired interview

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has praised Elon Musk's Starlink for helping overcome Russian propaganda. Ukrainians in offline areas were told by Russian troops that their country "does not exist anymore". The satellite network has been "very effective," Zelenskyy told Wired in an interview published on Thursday. I am really grateful for the support of Starlink," the Ukrainian leader told Wired. Internet connections have been instrumental in Ukraine's war effort, with the "IT Army" combatting Russian cyberattacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
