� EUROPE CYBER ATTACKS ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN EASTERN EUROPEAN NATIONS .

The country has recently been exposed to multiple cyber attacks , which has been linked to its plans to join NATO . Its government website was attacked during a speech by Ukraine ’ s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the Finnish parliament . The DDOS attack is different to the usual ransomware attack in that its primary function is to disable a website and prevent it from being used , by flooding it with internet traffic .

The attack subsided within an hour after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took necessary precautions to limit the effects of the attack , by cooperating with its trust cybersecurity service providers as well as its Cybersecurity Centre .

While no information was provided as to who might have ordered it , there is rife speculation around the motivation for it , suggesting it was related to Russia ’ s invasion of Ukraine .

This has come alongside attacks on critical infrastructure and even Helsinki hotels .
