Microsoft discloses malware attack on Ukraine govt networks
Ukrainian authorities and media reports say a number of federal government sites in Ukraine are down after a massive hacking attack. Microsoft said in a short blog site post that this amounted to the sound of a market alert that it initially discovered the malware on Thursday.This would coincide with the attack which momentarily took some 70 government sites offline. Microsoft stated the malware “runs when an associated device is turned off,” a typical preliminary reaction to a ransomware attack.
