[QUOTE]Hackers have caused widespread disruption across Europe with a series of major cyber attacks that hit Ukraine especially hard.

Company and government officials began reporting serious intrusions at the Ukrainian power grid, banks, airports, and government offices on Tuesday afternoon (local time).

Shortly after, Russia's Rosneft oil company reported falling victim to hacking, as did Danish shipping giant AP Moller-Maersk.
