This month’s guest on the Cyber Insider is Daryna Antoniuk. Daryna is a reporter for Recorded Future News based in Ukraine. She writes about cyberattacks and cyber policy in Eastern Europe and the state of the cyberwar between Ukraine and Russia. She previously worked as a tech reporter for Forbes Ukraine. Her work has also been published in The Kyiv Independent, The Kyiv Post, and Sifted.
Daryna sheds light on the unique challenges faced by journalists reporting from a country at war. She emphasizes the mental toll it can have, particularly due to the prolonged nature of the conflict. Despite these difficulties, our guest highlights the resilience and determination of journalists in Ukraine. Ukraine has been a frequent target of cyber attacks, with varying intensity and complexity. The Ukrainian Emergency Response Team reported over 2,500 cyber incidents in 2023 alone, indicating the scale and frequency of attacks. Daryna emphasizes the need for caution when reporting on cyber events, as misinformation and disinformation are rampant in this domain. The importance of independent analysis and verification when reporting on cyber events, particularly in the context of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, cannot be overstated.
All this and much more is discussed in this episode of The Cyber Insider podcast by Emsisoft, the award-winning cybersecurity company delivering top-notch security solutions for over 20 years.
