Today, Russia may be back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Ukraine prepares for its 2019 parliamentary elections, the United States government is warning that Kiev may come under attack again. Ukraine\u2019s upcoming Constitution Day could spark a rise in malicious cyber activity, the Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-cert.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/TA17-181A\">announced <\/a>June 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHS recommended \u201corganizations remain vigilant and aware of potential malicious cyber activity ahead of upcoming national holidays,\u201d and singled out the June 28 celebration in Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCyber campaigns \u2014 such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-cert.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/TA17-181A\">NotPetya<\/a> \u2014 are examples of increasingly advanced threat actor activity,\u201d the department warned, referring to a series of malware attacks that the U.S. attributes to Moscow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For network administrators, the department recommended segregating networks and functions, limiting unnecessary lateral communications, securing access to infrastructure devices, and validating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Russian-backed cyberattacks may require more than stronger digital hygiene, according to General Curtis Scaparrottii, America\u2019s top military commander in Europe. As Russian hackers have continued their attacks on Ukraine, Scaparrottii testified before Congress that the U.S. is not doing enough to combat Moscow\u2019s digital fighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just don\u2019t have the focus and the energy that I think we are capable of \u2026 in order to deter this [Russian] disinformation campaign that is going on,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?442614-1\/us-european-command-commander-testifies-european-security-challenges&amp;start=4600\">said<\/a> on March 15. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>A history of aggression <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a wave of demonstrations broke out in Ukraine in 2013, the country\u2019s pro-Russia president, Viktor Yanukovych, fled the country. A new government was formed in Ukraine, and Russian leader Vladimir Putin lashed out. With lightning speed and military force, Putin annexed the Ukrainian area of Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A campaign of disinformation began, according to Jen Weedon, a former researcher with the firm FireEye, in a book on Russian information warfare in Ukraine. There was an alleged Russian-backed digital attack on Ukrainian TV stations, news outlets and politicians. There was the raiding of Ukraine\u2019s fiber optic cables. And there was the outright shutdown of the Ukrainian government\u2019s website in late 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the Russia-Ukraine conflict, computer network operations have not been limited to trite notions of \u2018cyber war.\u2019 Rather, an examination of the sustained tensions suggests that this has been a war waged with and by the strategic theft and manipulation of information,\u201d wrote Weedon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During last year\u2019s Independence Day, which takes place August 24, hackers allegedly tried to compromise a Ukrainian software developer, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.talosintelligence.com\/2018\/01\/cfm-zeus-variant.html\">according<\/a> to Cisco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past year there have been fewer overall hacks on Ukraine, but they have become more damaging, said Roman Boyarchuk, a top cyber official in Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyivpost.com\/ukraine-politics\/number-of-cyber-incidents-in-ukraine-reaches-1000-a-month.html\">according<\/a> to the Kyiv Post. \u201cWhat we are now witnessing is the lull before the storm. We are preparing for new attacks from our northern aggressor \u2026 first these technologies were rolled in Ukraine, then applied in other countries. The same thing happens with cyberattacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> According to the Department of National Intelligence\u2019s 2018 threat assessment, the U.S. expects \u201cthat Russia will conduct bolder and more disruptive cyber operations during the next year, most likely using new capabilities against Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. lawmakers have taken note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mid-June, Victoria Nuland, who served as America\u2019s top diplomat to Europe during the Obama administration, warned Congress about Russian disinformation campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuland has firsthand experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A leaked telephone call posted to YouTube in 2014 revealed Nuland said \u201cf&#8212; the E.U.\u201d in regards to Ukraine\u2019s political crisis. The State Department called it \u201ca new low in Russian tradecraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUkraine was a test case for many of these tactics we saw in our own elections,\u201d said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., during recent testimony. \u201cAmbassador Nuland was a firsthand witness to the weaponization of leaks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine has been
