The DDoS attacks, which involves hackers directing massive amounts of traffic at a network until it collapses , temporarily disabled the websites of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian officials said Wednesday that further attacks on the websites of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Security Service of Ukraine were stopped. Attacks were also targeted at major Ukrainian banks including Privatbank and Oschadbank, but no funds were stolen.
“My fear is if Russia launches a major cyberattack against Ukraine, for example, and tries to shut down the power or the water, sometimes those cyberattacks don’t know geographic boundaries,” Warner said. “What will happen if that cyberattack bleeds into Poland, which is a NATO nation?” Asked whether the United States would be forced to retaliate in such a scenario, Warner responded: “That has been one of those hypothetical debates, literally, for years. But the notion [that] if you suddenly turn out the lights in eastern Poland, and that results in a wreck of a NATO vehicle where we’ve now got additional American troops, we’re entering into these unchartered waters.
