As the Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on, Russia’s threat to sponsor cyber-attacks on U.S. companies in retaliation for the U.S.’s sanctions has only increased. In fact, President Biden has issued an official statement calling on “private sector partners to harden [their] cyber defenses immediately” based on “evolving intelligence.”

The good news is that at least some of the threats come from “known vulnerabilities, for which we have patches available, used by even sophisticated cyber actors to compromise American companies.” As they say, history is prologue. Reviewing a few examples of Russian-affiliated cyber-attacks helps us to recommend procedures to protect your business in the future.
