Ukraine hit by more cyberattacks, destructive malware

"Ukraine’s parliament and other government and banking websites have been hit with another
wave of distributed-denial-of-service attacks.

Some of the infected computers were in neighboring Latvia and Lithuania, the researchers said.

 ESET Research Labs said it detected a previously unseen piece of data-wiping malware on “hundreds of machines in the country.”...........Boutin said the malware’s timestamp indicated it was created in late December. “Russia likely has been planning this for months, so it is hard to say how many organizations or agencies have been backdoored in preparation for these attacks,” said Chester Wisniewski."
