"Ukraine Successfully Blocked Over 4,500 Cyberattacks in 2022"

Ukraine's domestic intelligence service has stated that in 2022, it successfully thwarted over 4,500 cyberattacks. The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), which defends Ukraine's information and digital security during wartime, reports that the number of cyberattacks has increased threefold since 2021, and fivefold since 2020, when just 800 cyberattacks were recorded. Illia Vitiuk, head of the SSU Cyber Security Department, attributed his department's achievement to the lessons learned during the BlackEnergy cyberattack, which caused power disruptions for around 1.4 million Ukrainians during the peak of the 2015 winter. In the first three months of 2022, the Cyber Rapid Response Team of the State Cyber Defense Center of Ukraine reported a high number of suspicious cybersecurity or information security incidents. This article continues to discuss how Ukraine blocked more than 4,500 cyberattacks in 2022.
