A Ukrainian cyber guerrilla warfare group plans to launch digital sabotage attacks against critical Russian infrastructure to strike back at Moscow over its invasion. The group has already coordinated with a Belarusian group called The Cyber Partisans, which claims to have disabled Belarusian Railways’ traffic systems and brought down its ticketing website.

Local cybersecurity expert Yegor Aushev, who the Ukraine government had asked to help organize a unit of hackers to defend against Russia, said he planned to organize hacking attacks that would disrupt any infrastructure that helps bring Russian troops and weapons to his country. Aushev said his group has already downed or defaced dozens of Russian government and banking websites, sometimes replacing content with violent images from the war. Aushev said his group has grown to more than 1,000 Ukrainian and foreign volunteers. (Joel Schectman, Christopher Bing, and James Pearson / Reuters)
