Russia, in compromising Ukraine’s power grid on three separate occasions, is seemingly using the former Soviet republic as a testing ground to hone its modern warfare skills, Gilbert wrote.
But Ukraine is hardly the only target; Russian hackers have been implicated in an attack on the German Parliament; a hack of French television station TV5 Monde; an attack on the Polish stock exchange; the theft and publication of the some of the NSA’s most powerful hacking tools; and, of course, the compromising of DNC servers and subsequent meddling in the U.S. election last year, Gilbert added.

Hackers had compromised the network of a popular Ukraine-based maker of tax software with malware as far back as April, then waited until June 27 before pushing out a malicious update.
