The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detected and stopped another informational diversion of the Russian special services aimed at obtaining illegal access to personal data of citizens of Ukraine and proprietary information of public bodies. Personal and official mailboxes of Ukrainian citizens were spammed with messages with a link to a sort of important information “about separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions”. Email subjects and sender addresses constantly changed. In particular, one of such emails allegedly contained an aggregate list of hostages held by terrorists. In fact, those emails contained a link to a file infected by a harmful virus, which could provide full control over the infected computer. It was established, that direction of these attacks was performed from a single control center that belongs to Russian special services.
