Synopsis
The Russian invasion of the Ukraine was bound to take place in part in cyberspace. While the use of Russian offensive security operations against the West has long been alleged, the rise of crowdsourced security efforts in the current war must be finalised with holistic digital forensics and attribution.
The Ukranian cybersecurity incident on December 23, 2015, is the first publicly documented successful cyberattack against a national power grid, affecting 225,000 consumers for six hours. However, a similar attack threatens not only businesses and residents, but also the European freedom and security, by targeting governmental agencies or when leveraged in the context of wider conflicts on a global scale. Inspired by the Ukrainian incident and the potential consequences, this use case deals with different cybersecurity scenarios.
