    Whoever done this it wanted to make people emotional. Don’t fall for that.

    Bahhh. Stop the instigations. If any machine networks can be externally hacked be it government or otherwise then its a failed method of record and operational system.

    Wiper was deployed by GPO (Active Directory). Attackers has probably been in these networks for some time.

    Russia's vigilante hackers join the attack on Ukraine

    https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60528594

    "... the BBC has learned that at least some of the cyber-attacks that
    afternoon and since have come not from the Kremlin but from groups of so
    called "patriotic" Russian hackers.

    ...

    By day, Dmitry (not his real name) works for a respectable Russian

    cyber-security company.

    On Wednesday afternoon he finished work helping protect his customers
    from malicious hackers and went home for the night.

    ...

    He says his team of six hackers then temporarily brought down a number
    of Ukrainian government websites, by flooding servers with data in
    denial of service (DDoS) attacks.

    The BBC witnessed the crew temporarily take one Ukrainian military web
    page offline.

    Dmitry says they communicate on encrypted channels and "never speak in
    person" even though two of them work at the same cyber-security firm.

    "If my employer found out I would not have a job," he says.
    "

    Internet retaliate. #anonymous is DDoSing russian media sites such as Russia Today website with success. Methods are different. There are programs for benchmarking http server performance or easy to use webpages.
