Are the Increase in Cyberattacks Leading to an All-Out Cyber War?
Too Long; Didn't Read
In January 2022 alone, hackers attacked more than 70 government websites in Ukraine. 23% of cyberattacks targeted Ukraine as the country is considered a good testing ground for new cyber weapons due to its limited ability to execute a counter-attack. The E.U. and U.S. have aided Ukraine in strengthening their cyber defenses, but cyberattacks are unlikely to stay within the country’s borders. Americans are starting to take measures to protect themselves from possible cyber warfare. This includes updating software for computers and mobile devices, backing up crucial data, and having generators installed.
