How the Events in Ukraine Could Impact U.S. Businesses
As we watch history unfold in the Ukraine, it’s important to think about how these events can impact you and your business. One way in which you could be impacted is by a cyber-attack. The Russian government has used cyber as a key component of their force projection over the last decade. The last week has seen an unprecedented level of disruptive activity including activation of the new “HermeticWiper” malware attack discovered on February 23. While these attacks are currently focused outside the US, it is generally believed that sanctions imposing on Russia by Ukraine’s western allies, including the United States may cause retaliatory cyber-attacks here in our homeland.
