Rename: Ukraine cyberattacks -> Cyberattacks on Ukraine
editLogic assumption for "ukraine attacks" are that ukraine attacks, while it in fact was a victim. Pita guy (talk) 23:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Pita_guy
Ukraine Reactions subsection
editHello,
I have added a citation to the Statement of the 'Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security' as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), I also tried to change the wording to be more neutral and included previous attacks against the Ukraine by Russia mentioned in the Statement by the MFA.
However I have not removed the citation-needed tag and ask some else to a) read my contribution to see if there are any language-based errors and b) decide if the provided references are enough to warrant the removal of the tag.

- ... that a recent cyberattack on Ukrainian websites was disguised as ransomware? Source: https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2022/01/15/destructive-malware-targeting-ukrainian-organizations/
- Comment: The image in the article could be used, but it wasn't uploaded to Commons, only Wikipedia, so I am not sure how to link it

- I expanded the article a lot recently, I am not sure when the most recent fivefold expansion was, but the 14 January creation date may be a bit earlier than necessary. Perhaps someone with better character-counting abilities can figure out what the expansion date should be. Unrelated, but I am new here so QPQ doesn't apply.

- I shall review this. Storye book (talk) 17:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Overall: Thank you, Toadspike, for an interesting cyberattack article. Re the comment by the creator, there are no problems with newness or length, according to DYK Check. The image in the article has a deletion tag, so it could not be used here while the tag remains. The sources at the time of writing this review are all authoritative, including the Microsoft source which is created by their staff. Hook ALT0 is repeated in the main text and cited.
I have one hesitation about neutrality. The reactions section gives the reactions of Ukraine and NATO, but not of Russia. Russia is usually outspoken about its intentions and/or denials - are you sure that you cannot find some kind of post-cyberattack comment from Russia in response to the accusations that we see in the Reactions section? (This Reuters report says "The Russian foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia has previously denied being behind cyber attacks on Ukraine." That should cover it, if you can't find an actual comment from them.) ETA: Ah, here we are. Wall Stree Journal: "Russia has denied any involvement in the cyberattacks." So if we add that in, with the source, we will have as good a neutrality as we are going to get in that situation.
If that issue can be resolved, I believe this nom should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 18:00, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Storye book: Apologies for the long wait, I didn't see this message (I have never done a DYK before). I have added the section you requested on Russia's response. Thank you for reviewing this article. Toadspike (talk) 23:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Toadspike. I look forward to seeing your first DYK on the main page. Good to go. Storye book (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

A New York Times article just reported that last Wednesday Microsoft found an attack by a new wiper, named FoxBlade apparently aimed at Ukraine govt. I started an article on it, would appreciate help. The NYT article also has some reporting on increased public-private cooperation between Silicon Valley firms and military cyberwarfare centers due to the Ukraine crisis. --ChetvornoTALK 03:42, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
