Lucrarea de față evaluează raportările SSSCIP privind atacurile cibernetice derulate asupra Ucrainei în perioada ianuarie 2022 - ianuarie 2024. De la exploatarea malware-ului CaddyWiper, atribuit de SSSCIP către APT SANDWORM, la campaniile sofisticate ale FSB și atacul cibernetic asupra Kyivstar, lucrarea prezintă o perspectivă a atacurilor cibernetice de origine rusă derulate asupra Ucrainei, așa cum au fost raportate de autoritatea ucraineană în domeniu. Scopul articolului este acela de a identifica modul în care SSSCIP (principala instituție responsabilă pe componenta de securitate cibernetică) a raportat atacurile cibernetice asupra infrastructurilor IT&C ucrainene, completitudinea datelor publicate, precum și modalitatea în care sunt prezentate campaniile. Pentru realizarea acestui scop, au fost evaluate toate raportările SSSCIP din perioada de referință și au fost incluse în studiu doar acelea care s-au materializat și au afectat infrastructuri IT&C. În concluzii, vor fi evidențiate, în principal, limitările raportărilor SSSCIP și, secundar, perspectiva SSSCIP privind domeniile care au fost cel mai des vizate de atacuri cibernetice și capabilitățile actorilor ruși.

This paper evaluates the reports of the SSSCIP regarding cyber-attacks carried out against Ukraine from January 2022 to January 2024. From the exploitation of the CaddyWiper malware, attributed by SSSCIP to APT SANDWORM, to the sophisticated campaigns of the FSB and the cyber-attack on Kyivstar, the paper provides an insight into Russian-origin cyber-attacks against Ukraine, as reported by the main Ukrainian authority in the field, SSSCIP.The purpose of the article is to identify how SSSCIP reported cyber-attacks on Ukrainian IT&C infrastructures, the completeness of the published data, and the way the campaigns are presented. To achieve this goal, all SSSCIP reports from the reference period were evaluated, and only those that materialized and affected IT&C infrastructures were included in the study. In conclusion, the paper will primarily highlight the limitations of SSSCIP reports and, secondarily, SSSCIP's perspective on the domains most frequently targeted by cyber-attacks and the capabilities of Russian actors.

The impact of technological findings has invariably been one of the factors which have been investigated by different authors focused on the study of international relations. The greatest technological breakthroughs definitely changed the life of billions of people and, along with them, the functionality of one of the most relevant actors in the field, the states. Technology changed the tactics used by an emperor to carry a war, allowed the explorers to conquer unsullied lands and promised to send the manto the outer space.The 21st century stands as no exception to this rule, as technology proves itself to be more powerful than even and vital for the ordinarily activities. One of the greatest technological landmarks which have been yet achieved in the first decades of the 21st century is the 5G technology, tied to its promises of totallychanging the global connectivity. As expected for such a milestone, it was forcefully bonded to the competition between the financial commercial giants and the interest of the greatest global economic powers: United States and China.
