SINGAPORE, Feb 27 (The Straits Times/ANN): Organisations here have been urged to strengthen their cyber security following warnings of increased cyberthreats globally arising from recent cyber attacks on Ukraine following the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

DDoS attacks swamp targets with traffic and disable their IT systems.
