  • I expanded the article a lot recently, I am not sure when the most recent fivefold expansion was, but the 14 January creation date may be a bit earlier than necessary. Perhaps someone with better character-counting abilities can figure out what the expansion date should be. Unrelated, but I am new here so QPQ doesn't apply.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Thank you, Toadspike, for an interesting cyberattack article. Re the comment by the creator, there are no problems with newness or length, according to DYK Check. The image in the article has a deletion tag, so it could not be used here while the tag remains. The sources at the time of writing this review are all authoritative, including the Microsoft source which is created by their staff. Hook ALT0 is repeated in the main text and cited.

  • I have one hesitation about neutrality. The reactions section gives the reactions of Ukraine and NATO, but not of Russia. Russia is usually outspoken about its intentions and/or denials - are you sure that you cannot find some kind of post-cyberattack comment from Russia in response to the accusations that we see in the Reactions section? (This Reuters report says "The Russian foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia has previously denied being behind cyber attacks on Ukraine." That should cover it, if you can't find an actual comment from them.) ETA: Ah, here we are. Wall Stree Journal: "Russia has denied any involvement in the cyberattacks." So if we add that in, with the source, we will have as good a neutrality as we are going to get in that situation.

If that issue can be resolved, I believe this nom should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 18:00, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

  • @Storye book: Apologies for the long wait, I didn't see this message (I have never done a DYK before). I have added the section you requested on Russia's response. Thank you for reviewing this article. Toadspike (talk) 23:05, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Toadspike. I look forward to seeing your first DYK on the main page. Good to go. Storye book (talk) 23:15, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Promoting the main hook to Prep 5, so that the "recent cyberattack" remains recent! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
