Elon Musk says Russia ‘ramping up’ cyber war amid reports Moscow downed Ukraine’s internet
India Today
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk claimed his Starlink satellite internet service has been targeted by Russia, which is becoming increasingly indiscriminate in its cyber war on Ukraine.
Right from the onset, Russia's war on Ukraine has been fought on two fronts -- military and cyber. Now, based on intelligence reports, the US, UK and the European Union have collectively alleged that Moscow carried out a large-scale digital attack to cripple Ukraine’s satellite internet network in late February with the aim to “disrupt Ukrainian command and control during the invasion”.
Tweeting a Reuters report on the major Russian cyberattack, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk claimed his Starlink satellite internet service has also been targeted by Moscow, which is becoming increasingly indiscriminate in its efforts to sabotage the network.
“Starlink has resisted Russian cyber war jamming and hacking attempts so far, but they’re ramping up their efforts,” Musk said.

Russia has consistently denied that it carries out offensive cyber operations.
