Ukraine: Russian hackers may have used fake CAPTCHA to attack government systems

Euronews Portugal9 September 2026 at 15:13

Investigators discovered that Russian hackers may have used a fake CAPTCHA to attack Ukraine's government systems. The technique consisted of deceiving users with a fake Google verification to gain unauthorized access.

The attack was part of a larger cybercrime operation. The main objective was to steal cryptocurrency and access credentials to government systems.

The campaign specifically targeted Ukraine's government systems, exploiting users' trust in a common verification tool like Google CAPTCHA to distribute malware.
