Cyberwarfare

In the warning issued on Wednesday, which came from several countries, it was revealed that Chinese cyber espionage was aimed at military and government organizations in the US, Reuters reported.
The Chinese government has rejected claims it is spying on Western targets, calling the warning from the US and its allies a "collective disinformation campaign".

U.S. semiconductor giant Micron has failed a national security review, China's cybersecurity watchdog has said, telling operators of "critical information infrastructure" to stop buying its products.    

It marked the latest escalation in the bitter chip war between the United States and China, with Washington looking to cut off Beijing's access to cutting-edge semiconductors.    

"The US assesses that China's effort to develop capabilities to 'deny, exploit or hijack' enemy satellites is a key part of its goal to control information, which Beijing considers a core 'war-fighting domain,'" commented the "Financial Times".

Encrypted folders with stolen information from Open University of Cyprus may be available on the dark web, where data brokers and identity thieves can now buy access to private information of students and staff after the institution failed to pay ransom.

Account data of administration employees was on the "dark web". And many of the administrations still provide contact emails, outside of the state ones. This is recorded in the annual report of the Ministry of e-Government on the state of information resources for last year. The document was accepted by the caretaker cabinet a week ago.

The first report on cyber threats in Bosnia and Herzegovina has said the country is facing millions of cyber attacks each month, while lacking the strategies, legislation and capacity to protect its citizens, institutions and companies. 

Slovenia's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs was targeted by a cyberattack on 7 April. It said appropriate security protocols had been launched while the scale of the attack was still being assessed.

The ministry told the STA they had detected the attack together with partners. The staff continue to work as normal.

Russia's cyber war against Ukraine has largely failed, and Moscow is increasingly targeting Kyiv's European allies, US and French analysts say.

French defense firm Thales said in a report that Russia is striking Poland, the Nordic and Baltic countries with an arsenal of cyber weapons aimed at sowing division and promoting anti-war messages.

French defense company Thales said in a report published today that Russia plans attack on Poland, the Nordic and Baltic countries with an arsenal of cyber weapons to create divisions and promote anti-war groups.
Earlier this month, Microsoft said Russian actors had launched attacks in at least 17 European countries in the first six weeks of this year.
