First world cyberwar: public & private in Ukrainian cyber defense
summary
Ukraine records 1,686 reported incidents since the escalation, about 400 classified as critical and 83 distinct attacker groups tracked; an initial Jan 14 supply‑chain strike hits 90 government sites with 50 defacements, later a wires head hack disrupts satellite links and a not patio campaign hits up to 10% of enterprises causing ~$10B global loss. Volunteers split into three groups — offensive “IT Army”, industry conscripts joining state forces, and volunteer defenders — and public agencies coordinate donated tools, licenses and threat intel to harden networks; timely detection of Destroyer 2 prevents a 2 million person blackout.
