Cybercriminals are impersonating Ukrenergo and spreading viruses via email
A new wave of cyberattacks has been reported in Ukraine, in which attackers are sending emails on behalf of NPC "Ukrenergo" containing malicious files and links.
According to the company, scammers are spoofing the sender’s address, using the official appearance of Ukrenergo’s email, to convince users to open attachments or click on links.
Once such a file is downloaded, malicious software can infect the device, capable of stealing passwords, banking details, and other confidential information, as well as granting attackers remote access to the computer.
Most often, attacks target users of email services with the domains @i.ua, @ua.fm, and @email.ua, although other email platforms may also be at risk.
Ukrenergo emphasized that the company does not send power outage schedules or payment documents via personal emails.
Experts recommend not opening suspicious attachments, not clicking on unknown links, and deleting such messages immediately. If a file has been downloaded, you should immediately scan your device with antivirus software.
They advise checking for up-to-date information on possible power supply restrictions only on the official websites of Ukrenergo and local regional power distribution companies.
