Microsoft has revealed Russian government hackers carried out multiple cyber operations against Ukraine

A report from the tech giant suggests the cyber activity supports Moscow’s military attacks and online propaganda campaigns.

The reported intrusions also suggest that hacking has played a bigger role in the conflict than what has been publicly known.

Microsoft says the digital onslaught began over a year ago, and researchers believe it paved the way for military missions in Ukraine.

Between Feburary 23 and April 8, Microsoft says, it observed a total of 37 Russian destructive cyberattacks inside Ukraine.

Microsoft says Russia’s hacking and military operations worked in “tandem against a shared target set.”

Since the start of the war, academics and analysts have said Russia appeared to be less active in the cyber domain against Ukraine than expected.

The Microsoft report reveals a flurry of malicious cyber activity, although its impact in most cases has been unclear.
