and theft, but more digital destruction. That is one of the ways in which the conflict in Ukraine is altering cybercrime. The shift, says Oleh Derevianko, chairman of, a Ukrainian computer-security firm, is striking. Recent years had seen a boom in the use of ransomware, which scrambles victims’ computer data until a payment is made. Now, Mr Derevianko says, the number of such attacks on’s corporate and government clients has dropped pretty-much to zero.
This trend seems also to have spread beyond the borders of the countries involved. Resilience, a cyber-insurance firm in San Francisco, reports that prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion, which began in February, claims involving ransomware were the third most common category. Now, says Vishaal Hariprasad, Resilience’s boss, they are sixth or seventh.
