Ukraine’s Cyberpolice has undergone a significant transformation since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
Yevhenii Panchenko, chief of division of the Cyberpolice Department, revealed that their responsibilities now include collecting evidence of war crimes committed by Russian soldiers, investigating cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, and combating disinformation campaigns.
Follow the crypto, find the funders
The Cyberpolice is also on the hunt for cryptocurrency being used to fund the war effort. They’re labeling addresses and attributing them to specific campaigns, teaming up with tech-savvy volunteers to crack the case.
Plus, they’re keeping an eye on the shifting ransomware landscape, as Russia focuses more on disruption and destruction than just making a quick buck.
Empowering citizens, one byte at a time
To bolster Ukraine’s digital defenses, the Cyberpolice launched BRAMA, a gateway that rallies the troops to block and destroy Russian propaganda and psyops online.
They’re also training citizens on cybersecurity best practices, because let’s face it, Russian hackers aren’t just targeting critical infrastructure—they’re coming for your Telegram account too.
By fostering cyber resistance, the Cyberpolice is helping Ukrainians fight back, one byte at a time.
