Rename: Ukraine cyberattacks -> Cyberattacks on Ukraine

[edit]

Logic 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[reply]

Ukraine Reactions subsection

[edit]

Hello,

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.

  • 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.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

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)[reply]


Promoting the main hook to Prep 5, so that the "recent cyberattack" remains recent! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FoxBlade attack

[edit]

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)[reply]
