HHS Cybersecurity Program has issued another alert and whitepaper report (202202280900):

Executive Summary

Leading up to Russia’s unprovoked attack against Ukraine, threat actors deployed destructive malware against organizations in Ukraine to destroy computer systems and render them inoperable. Destructive malware can present a direct threat to an organization’s daily operations, impacting the availability of critical assets and data. Further disruptive cyberattacks against organizations in Ukraine are likely to occur
and may unintentionally spill over to organizations in other countries. Organizations should increase vigilance and evaluate their capabilities encompassing planning, preparation, detection, and response for such an event

However, the situation could change, and the advisory contains Best Practices and Planning Strategies to reduce the risk from this threat and other destructive malware.
