Avast started identifying calls for hacktivism almost as soon as the ground war in Ukraine commenced last week. Some were fraudulent, looking to capitalize on the tragedy, but others were genuine encouragement for “regular people” who want to contribute to the effort. While this is not the first time hacktivists have intervened in world events, there is one major difference between previous actions and this one: This is a war. And the rules are different during wartime.
