Bear Necessities: Ukraine's Experience Facing APTs, Building Resilience
summary
Ukraine documents that APTs combine cyber and kinetic strikes — notably a January 2024 barrage of 300+ missiles and 200+ drones — while operators compromise webcams used for battle damage assessment and steal PII to craft convincing lures. National teams trace long‑running persistence, finding implants undetected for years, publish analytic reports, and keep critical services online by using Starlink, cloud failovers, generators and Diia digital passports. The core claims: coordinated cyber‑kinetic campaigns, evolving attacker talent, and resilient operational fixes that demonstrably keep services functioning.
