Members of the Ukraine’s Security Service announced that they have blocked an attack by the Russian government. According to the statement, the attack attempted to launch a “large-scale” cyber-attack on the Ukrainian Judicial Authority’s information and telecommunication systems.  The attack was launched through a spear-phishing campaign using emails containing a document disguised as an accounting document.  The document contained a currently-unspecified malware which was found to be attempting to communicate with a command and control server which is located within Russia.  Given the current situation between Russia and Ukraine, it is not surprising that Russia would attempt to disrupt Ukrainian government operations.
