Various cybercrime and cyber threat groups have recently publicly pledged support for the Russian government in retaliation to sanctions against Russia for its invasion into Ukraine.
Eight cybersecurity authorities from the Five Eye nations have come together to release a
joint cybersecurity advisory that more malicious cyber activity is on the way as Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to affect geopolitical stability.
"Evolving intelligence indicates that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyber attacks," the agencies said.
The advisory is a joint warning by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, US National Security Agency, Australian Cyber Security Centre, Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, New Zealand's National Cyber Security Centre, UK National Cyber Security Centre, and the UK National Crime Agency.
