Atlantic published Russia is targeting Ukraine with cyberattacks isn’t new. But Information Systems Security Partners, a Ukrainian firm hired by the national power company to look into the hack, determined that those responsible were also to blame for a similar hack in 2015 that affected a quarter of a million people. Last month Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said hackers tried to breach state institutions 6,500 times in two months, something he called “acts of terrorism.” A piece byWIRED published last March found the hack in 2015, which closely resembled this recent hack, was a well-choreographed attack in which hackers stole operator credentials. The hack, WIRED wrote, probably took months to plan.
