SBU hackers break the Russian technique just on the front: how it helps in the offensive - BBC

Ukrainian cyberbians successfully attack drones, cameras and databases of the Russian Federation, but they need to be very close to the goals on the battlefield. The SBU's cyberfactors work not only in the rear, but also on the collision line with the Russian aggressor, making an invaluable contribution to the fight against the invaders, breaking drones, enemy systems, observation cameras and helping intelligence.

In the great material, the BBC spoke about the cyberwar, which became an integral part of the struggle for the freedom of Ukraine, and the focus chose the most important thing. Today, the SBU Cybersecurity Department uses any systems and tools to combat the enemy in cyberspace.

Visual recognition systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) are actively used to analyze the information obtained from drones (along with intelligence obtained from people, satellites and other technical sources) to determine the goals for the military. "We understand what type of combat weapons the Russians are going to use and in what direction," says Ilya Vituk, the head of the Cyber ​​Department of the Security Service of Ukraine.

Cyberfachivts, under his leadership, break the surveillance cameras in the occupied territory to monitor the movement of Russian troops, and they direct the drones of Kamikadze to destroy Russian cameras that spy on the actions of Ukrainians. This often requires groups to work under a cover not far from the target. The SBU's cyber team uses its own drones, installs sensors to detect enemy UAVs so that operators can not simply stifle them, but land and use and use for their purposes.

All this often has to be done at a close range, which, in turn, is very dangerous for the hackers themselves. According to Vityuk, the Russian special services also transferred some of their cybergroups closer to the front line. Russian hackers are trying to break the systems and networks of the Armed Forces to use information to the Army of the Russian Federation.

Cyberwar is almost on the line of contact, because it is important for experts to be as close as possible to the target that you need to break. The SBU is actively assisted by volunteers from young cyberfactors. They created a system called "Griselda", which collects data from social networks and other sources to provide topical situational intelligence.

This helps the military to be aware of all events: from where mines can be installed to what the infrastructure and equipment of the invaders need repair. "I always say that Ukraine has debunked the myth of powerful Russian hackers," says Ilya Vituk. He adds that it was not easy, and there were dangerous situations. In fact, today, Ukraine has taken on all the power of the cyber -attacks of the Russians, which allows the event to rest a little from the attacks of the Kremlin hackers, writes BBC.
