Global mobilization for Ukraine is reaching the world of technology.
The digital minister of Ukraine, 28-year-old Michael Fedorov, who came from the world of digital network advertising, took to Twitter to invite anyone who understands cyber and computer to enlist in the IT army he sets up and posted the details of the telegram channel announcing cyber-attack missions of Russian targets .
Senior technologists liken this call to a situation in which a defense minister will invite the public to send suicide skimmers and post the targets in GPS telegrams.
Enlistment is enormous.
The constantly updated Ukrainian Target Bank has about 300,000 subscribers, most of whom come from outside Ukraine.
Ukraine's 'cyber army' was set up after a series of violent Russian cyber attacks on Ukrainian targets.
There are four attack groups, Russians, Ukrainians ideological attack groups, and large technology companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter.

The Russians are also attacking Israeli companies
Even before the invasion, the Russians launched an attack on government sites, sites of Ukrainian companies, services and banks, which picked up gear when the attack began using two main tools: ransomware, which has been known for years, but in this case not for money but for damage. Complete computer systems through Windows software and the like.
"It can be likened to planes bombing indiscriminately and without regard to what they are doing," said
Yossi Rahman, head of research at Cyberzen
, a defensive cybercircle whose technology protects endpoints and the IT environment in organizations, and prevents and neutralizes cyberattacks. , In an interview with Radio North.
"This was accompanied by a disinformation campaign on social media so that the Russian public did not know what was happening in Ukraine. A few days ago, a law was passed in the Russian parliament that could ban Pike News distributors for 15 years, with Pike News defined as incompatible with parliament and its people."
Cyberzan helps Ukrainians in their war on Russian cyberattacks?
Not directly.
We are not a body that can go out and read or provide services that will ultimately benefit Ukrainians.
"Since we are in places where cyber warfare is taking place, when we identify attack tools that the Russians use, such as
ransomware or viruses designed to cover entire systems, after we make sure who is behind them, we publish the means of identification that help Ukrainians defend themselves."
Are there any Russian attempts to take advantage of the chaotic situation and extract information from them?
"The Russians are trying to attack any relevant target, and Western organizations as well as Israeli companies. We have seen in the past that Russian attack targets aimed at Ukraine in 2017 leaked out and shut down other companies in the world like FedEx, which stopped for several days and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage." "They have local sites in the country. The Russians tried to directly attack the Ukrainians, but out of criminal negligence, their attack tools caused damage around the world, which can happen even today."
