CISA Issues Cybercrime Prevention Tips to Guard Against Russian Cybercriminals

Russia’s invasion into Ukraine has had far-reaching impacts that have extended far beyond eastern Europe. Military analysts have widely speculated that the war on the ground hasn’t gone according to plan for Russian forces — a fact that has led many to surmise that the battlefield may soon extend into the cyber realm.

This has prompted the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — to issue a “Shields Up” warning with actionable tips to defend against cybercrime. The tips include recommendations for attack detection, mitigating damage in the event an cyberattack does occur, and maximizing your organization’s cybercrime defense capabilities.
