Ukraine prevents new Russian cyber attack targeting electricity grid, but warns more may be on the way

Alexander Martin

Ukrainian authorities have accused hackers working for Russian military intelligence of a new cyber attack targeting the country's electricity grid and power supply.

The attack was planned to take place last Friday, 8 April, when the malware targeting an unidentified company would have shut down several high-voltage electrical substations in Ukraine.

While the country's cyber security experts managed to prevent any disruption to power supply, there are concerns further attacks could be successful ahead of a renewed push from Russia in the east.
