Cyberattack Hits Ukrainian Banks and Government Websites
Several Ukrainian government websites were offline Wednesday as a result of a mass distributed denial of service attack, Mykhailo Fedorov, head of Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, said in his Telegram channel. From a report: The attack, which also impacted some banks, began around 4 p.m. local time, according to Fedorov. He didn't say which banks were attacked or what the extent of the damage was. Websites for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cabinet of Ministers and Rada, the country's parliament, were among those down as of Wednesday morning Eastern time.
