[Alert] Russia-Ukraine Situation: Increase in major security breaches

With the escalating Russia-Ukraine situation, organizations globally are being urged to urgently increase their cyber security posture.
Threat Actors have deployed destructive malware in relation to the Russia-Ukraine crisis known as WhisperGate and HermeticWiper Malware.
Global events, such as pandemics, global financial crisis, and now war, trigger significant increases in security breaches.
Financially motivated threat actor groups are very opportunistic and will launch attack campaigns including war themed phishing and malware campaigns.
As the war continues to escalate, politically motivated threat actor groups will rise and perform both broad and targeted attacks against companies.
State sponsored threat actors are also likely to target, and escalate existing access, within specific organisations including critical infrastructure providers.
