Rob Joyce, the Director of Cybersecurity at the National Security Agency (NSA), stated that Russian hackers had accessed private security cameras in Ukrainian coffee shops in order to gather information on passing aid convoys.

Government-backed hackers actively targeted Ukrainian cyberspace, with CCTV cameras as one of the attack vectors. Joyce explained that while the surveillance cameras in the town square are accessible online, hackers are exploiting zero-day and N-day vulnerabilities to gain access to the private cameras of local businesses in order to monitor the roads they need to see.
