Cybersecurity pros warn Ukraine crisis could spur Russian cyberattacks around the world

The cybersecurity firm Mandiant is warning that Russia’s conflict over Ukraine may yield attacks in cyberspace that cause harm around the world.

John Hultquist, Mandiant‘s vice president of intelligence analysis, said in a video briefing that his firm has regularly informed its customers that chaos in Ukraine could affect them, and Mandiant is now spreading the word more broadly.

Prospects of a Russian military invasion into Ukraine have grown with more than 100,000 troops massed on its border with Ukraine.
