The war between Russia and Ukraine has dragged on for eight months.
So far, Ukraine’s defenders have been able to fight off most of Russia’s cyberattacks.
Experts say that could change soon.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has become frustrated with his country’s lack of progress in the land war.
His rhetoric has increased and it’s possible that he could resort to a major cyberattack.
The impact of a Russian cyberattack could reach far outside of Ukraine’s borders.
Experts say Russia also could target Ukraine backers like the US or European Union.
He adds that it remains to be seen whether those kinds of attacks will unfold down the road.
Meanwhile Ukraine’s defenders continue to do “an exceptional job,” he said.
Other attacks followed, including the 2017NotPetyaattack that crippled computers across the country.
In response, Ukraine boosted both its national cybersecurity defenses and its cooperation with other countries, Zhora says.
“This isn’t over,” she said.
