Abstract
Abstract The IT Army of Ukraine is unlike any other cyber-threat actor. Created by the Ukraine Ministry of Digital Transformation two days after the Russian invasion, it has gathered, trained and directed thousands of people from inside and outside Ukraine to participate in persistent DDoS campaigns against Russian civilian infrastructure. In its current form, the IT Army is neither civilian nor military, neither public nor private, neither local nor international. Notably, whether it is lawful or unlawful remains unclear. Given its apparent adaptability and its continuing ability to recruit participants and mount cyber campaigns, it is positioned to become an advanced persistent threat.
乌克兰的IT军队不同于任何其他网络威胁行为者。在俄罗斯入侵两天后，乌克兰数字转型部(Ukraine Ministry of Digital Transformation)创建了该组织，该组织聚集、培训并指导了乌克兰境内外的数千人，参与针对俄罗斯民用基础设施的持续DDoS攻击活动。在目前的形式下，IT军队既不是民用的也不是军用的，既不是公共的也不是私人的，既不是本地的也不是国际的。值得注意的是，目前尚不清楚这是合法的还是非法的。鉴于其明显的适应性以及招募参与者和发起网络活动的持续能力，它被定位为一种先进的持续威胁。
