A number of Ukrainian banks and companies, including the state power distributor, were hit by a cyber attack on Tuesday

So there has been a wide spread cyber attack on Ukraine.

Oschadbank, one of Ukraine's largest state-owned lenders, said some of its services had been affected by a "hacking attack" but guaranteed that customer data was safe.

At least the largest bank of Ukraine and a Ukrainian power distributor were hit, but the impact remains to be seen.

Ukrainian state power distributor Ukrenergo said its IT system had been hit by a cyber attack, but the disruption had no impact on power supplies or its broader operations.

Ukraine has blamed Russia for previous cyber attacks, including one on its power grid at the end of 2015 that left part of western Ukraine temporarily without electricity.

There has been a number of targeted attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure in the past. However, this could be part of a larger epidemic. Anyone remember Wannacry? What if this is not only in Ukraine?
