Ukrainian National Bank warns of possible cyber-attack at Independence Day

The Ukrainian National Bank said that the country's banking system would be in danger of cyber attack on the eve of Independence Day.

According to the Bank, the virus is distributed through emails as a Microsoft word document.  It is reported that antivirus will not be able to detect it and the malware takes complete control of the infected computers.

Representatives of Ukrainian cyber police noted that usually hackers attack on the eve of important events. So, the Ukrainian authorities reported that a cyber attack will occur on August 24.

It should be noted that, even back in June, the NotPetya malware attack also began on June 27th, the day before Constitution Day in Ukraine.
