INCIDENT

The Russian independent media organization Meduza said that it has been targeted by an “unprecedented” cyber campaign ahead of the upcoming presidential election this month. “In February 2024, the Russian authorities launched a series of cyberattacks against Meduza, more intense than any we’ve ever faced,” the organization said in a statement on Monday.

There is no evidence so far that the attacks were conducted by the Russian state, apart from Meduza’s statement.
