Ukraine Government Websites Hit With Cyberattack, Days After Banks Impacted

Source: Newsweek

Several Ukrainian government websites have been targeted in another cyberattack.

The websites for the Verkhovna Rada—the Ukrainian parliament—as well as the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not working due to a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack, Ukrainian news outlets Klymenko Time and RBC reported.

It comes just a week after Ukraine's defense ministry and two local banks were targets of a cyberattack.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

And then those IPs can be blocked at incoming routers too, to prevent attacking other sites. This is not an intrusion, but it is a nuisance.
