the battleground has not just been on Ukrainian soil. There has also been an information war - as the Kremlin sticks to its guns in claiming that Russia's "special operation" has hit only military infrastructure and averring that any news about civilians being targeted is fake and part of an elaborate hoax on the part of Ukraine and the Western media.

distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. DDoS is a form of cyber attack that floods a network with so much malicious traffic that it cannot operate or communicate as it normally would.

Banks, government ministries, including the Russian security services known as FSB and the Russian Ministry of Defence (MOD), have been in the crosshairs of hackers via DDoS.
