A new report shows that Ukraine is fighting a battle with Russia in cyber space, as well as a physical war.
Russia has been using 'cyber warfare' on Ukraine since the physical invasion started in late February, says Chicago-based security firm Trustwave.
Malware has been used against organisations in Ukraine either to destroy or gain control over their online systems and 'damage targets far behind the frontlines'.
Malware – a catch-all term for any type of malicious software – has been used to steal data, spy on citizens and attack national infrastructure.
