On January 14, 2022 Orthodox New Year, over 70 Ukrainian government websites were defaced with political imagery and a statement in Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish before going down temporarily. Most sites were restored within hours. The attack crippled much of the government's public-facing digital infrastructure, including the most widely used site for handling government services online, Diia. Diia also has a role in Ukraine's coronavirus response and in encouraging vaccination. It also crippled the sites of the Cabinet of Ministers, and the ministries of energy, sports, agriculture, veterans' affairs, and ecology. The Ukrainian company Kitsoft also confirmed that it found the WhisperGate malware on some of its systems. At least 50 of the 70 sites targeted for defacement were developed and maintained by Kitsoft. Kitsoft was compromised, which allowed the hackers to gain access to Kitsoft's administrator panel and use the company's credentials to deface customer web sites.

Microsoft identified a destructive malware (dubbed WhisperGate) operation targeting multiple organizations in Ukraine. This malware first appeared on victim systems in Ukraine on January 13, 2022. The malware is assessed to be designed to look like ransomware but lacking a ransom recovery mechanism and is intended to be destructive rendering targeted devices inoperable rather than to obtain a ransom. Victims span multiple government, non-profit, and information technology organizations. A Ukrainian IT company also confirmed that it found the WhisperGate malware on some of its systems. At least 50 of the 70 sites targeted for defacement were developed and maintained by the said IT company. The latter was compromised, which allowed the hackers to gain access to its' administrator panel and use the company's credentials to deface customer web sites. Microsoft named the samples WhisperGate, while other security companies labeled the downloader as WhisperGate and WhisperKill as the actual wiper, which was considered a component of WhisperGate.
