Last year, a team from West Point’s Army Cyber Institute traveled to Ukraine to examine Russian hybrid warfare operations. After interviewing several regular and territorial Ukrainian soldiers, the team discovered that Russian Spetsnaz had distributed malware to the cell phones of front-line Ukrainian soldiers via signal intercept platforms. Moreover, small teams of Russian SOF infiltrated behind the front line to intercept and disturb the communications between the Ukrainian front-line troops and rear echelons.
