Ukrainian officials warned Friday that Belarusian hackers are sending a wave of phishing emails targeting Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. “Mass phishing emails have recently been observed targeting private ‘i.ua’ and ‘meta.ua’ accounts of Ukrainian military personnel and related individuals,” Ukraine’s Computer Emergency Response Team wrote in a Facebook post Friday.

Ukraine’s State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection issued a separate warning Friday about a phishing attack against civilian emails containing potentially malicious attached files.
