A less known ransomware group known as CoomingProject has also announced their support for the Russian government if cyber-attacks are conducted against Russia.<\/p><p>The Lockbit ransomware group also released an announcement stating they are only interested in the money and won\u2019t be take part in cyber-attacks on critical infrastructures of any country in the world or engage in any international conflicts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The week of the 21st of February 2022 has seen threat actor groups announce their support in relation to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.
