LIVE UPDATES: Russia invades UkraineThe cyberattack appears to have been thwarted, and the Ukrainian government Computer Emergency Response Team said it had prevented the attackers from"carrying out [their] malicious intent." Victor Zhora, a senior Ukrainian cybersecurity official, told CNN that the hack attempt did not affect the provision of electricity at the power company.Ukrainian officials declined to name the electric utility targeted by the hackers.

It's the type of advanced cyberattack that many US officials and cybersecurity analysts predicted would accompany Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "A lot of people were expecting something like this to happen, with critical infrastructure targeted by really advanced malware," Jean-Ian Boutin, ESET's director of threat research, told CNN.While this hack may have been thwarted, prior Sandworm hacks in Ukraine have been disruptive.
