Russian Malware in the Ukraine War

No ratings

Presented at BSides Las Vegas 2022 by

Ukraine has been hit with wave upon wave of malware by Russia. During the build up to the war and everyday since. During my time in Kiev, evacuating and working on efforts to evacuate over 1000 people with humanitarian orgs. Targets have ranged from the Ukraine government to everyday citizens and refugees. With grave human effects. From banking, foreign exchange, ATMs, water infrastructure attacks, Ukrainian border patrol, orphan database, surveillanceware against refugees and humanitarian organizations. A constant flow of digital harassment and pain. Including the first known instance of a digital Geneva Convention violation I witnessed and brought to international media attention. A journey into the worst side of cyberwar from a defender that fled Ukraine.
