Ukrainian media outlets now among 'priority targets' for Russian hackers

A Ukrainian security official reported two previously undisclosed hacking attacks on television media organizations and indicated Russia has increased its targeting of the media sector. Russian state-sponsored actors have designated Ukrainian media outlets as priority targets in their broader campaign against the country.

Why it matters: Ukrainian media outlets, journalists, and international observers monitoring the conflict face increased operational risk from Russian cyber activities; organizations should review access controls, backup procedures, and incident response plans.
