Hackers attacked government agencies in Ukraine under the guise of DTEK employees, - the state's special communications service CERT-UA Ukrainian cyber incident response team experts documented a new cyber attack by the UAC-0050 group on government agencies in Ukraine. According to the department, on October 29 the attackers started sending mass emails on behalf of the accountant of DTEK Energy. The messages talked about the need to urgently pay the debt for the electricity. In reality, the hackers were trying to gain covert remote access to the recipients' computers. The state service for special communications states that the attack poses a special danger against the background of attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, stabilization and emergency power outages. The agency called on citizens and employees of institutions not to click on suspicious links, not to enter passwords to download unknown archives, and to check the details of the debt exclusively through official applications and websites of electricity providers.
