For all of my clients, the war situation is very much impacting cyberspace and the web, regardless of business. I sincerely recommend you update all of your pc software to give yourselves the maximum protection. There have already been cases of increased DDos (Distributed Denial of service) attacks on servers and there is an increase in malware attacks and potential stealing of data. If you are unsure of what software to install, I recommend a combination of McAfee and Malwarebytes. They aren't expensive and are considerably cheaper than fixing a hacked pc.

Following the invasion of Ukraine, the cybersecurity community is watching diligently for any increase in cyberattacks or a change in their nature. As we’ve seen with previous global crises, cybercriminals will often use these times of fear and uncertainty to advance their goals. There is also a danger that cyberattacks conducted as part of the conflict will affect people and organizations outside the region.
To our valued customers around the world, we urge you to take steps to ensure you’re protected, to use caution when browsing online and interacting with email, and understand the potential cybersecurity impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
