Bitdefender

Bitdefender doesn’t have offices or operations in Ukraine. However, it does serve tens of thousands of customers on the consumer side and several hundred on the business side.

“We are actively monitoring the situation through our telemetry, global honeypot network, threat intelligence and our managed detection and response (MDR) services,” a Bitdefender spokesperson said. “We are also monitoring third-party threat intelligence feeds coming from the cybersecurity community. So far, we have found cybercriminals trying to take advantage of the situation by sending mass Ukraine-theme charity scam email campaigns to capitalize on the good will of others.”

On Friday, Bitdefender also announced new research on two separate Ukraine-themed malspam campaigns designed to infect systems with Agent Tesla and Remcos, remote access trojans designed to exfiltrate data and steal user credentials.

In addition, Bitdefender and the Romania National Cyber Security Directorate announced a joint collaboration to provide cybersecurity expertise, threat intelligence and technology at no cost to any business, government institution or private citizen of Ukraine for as long as it is necessary. The program also offers NATO and EU countries cybersecurity technologies for one year if they have trust concerns and are looking to replace current cybersecurity technology.
