Sandworm's Kyivstar attack should serve as a reminder of the Kremlin crew's 'global reach'

The report attributes a months-long intrusion and destructive attack on Ukrainian telecom Kyivstar to Russia-linked Sandworm (VooDoo Bear), describing service outages for about 24 million users after attackers wiped thousands of virtual servers and PCs on 12 December 2023. The intrusion reportedly disrupted air-raid alerts and some banking services, provided attackers access to customer and location data, and is characterized by security firms as a high-sophistication, nation-state hybrid warfare operation with links to hacktivist fronts like Solntsepek.
