Earlier this year, Kyiv’s nuclear operator Energoatom reported what it called an “unprecedented cyberattack” on its website.
A popular Russian cyber-army group allegedly used more than 7 million internet bots to attack the website for three hours.
Facebook’s parent company Meta also revealed that several groups of hackers linked to Russia and Belarus broke into the Facebook accounts of Ukrainian military officials.
The hackers ran coordinated campaigns to remove social media posts that oppose President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government.
With the new cyber facility, CybExer official Aare Reintam said that the Ukrainian armed forces will have an underlying technology to effectively deter such attacks.
“Our cyber range technology has proven itself in many national and international cyber training over the last few years. I truly believe that we can provide the Ukraine Armed Forces with the best cyber range available today,” he remarked.
