Almost 1,400 IP address has been used by hackers of Russia and Ukraine to launch cyberattacks on each other. This revelation comes after a recent investigation conducted by Bangladesh Government's e-Government Computer Incident Response Team (BGD e-GOV CIRT or BD CIRT).
Ever since the conflict erupted, according to several media reporting, hackers from Russia and Ukraine has been attempting to hack into each other's critical IT infrastructure using botnet and malware.
