US and SBU: Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine on the day of the Champions League final

68
The American transnational corporation Cisco Systems Inc, which sells network equipment, sent a "warning" to Kiev that a large-scale cyber attack could be "being prepared against Ukraine." Cisco Systems analyst Craig Williams in an interview to Reuters said that the company "identified at least half a million routers and storage devices in dozens of countries with malicious software." And all this contaminated equipment is allegedly aimed against Ukraine.


The SBU received information, announcing that Russia could be in favor of a “preparing cyber attack”. Moreover, it is alleged that Russia allegedly infected hundreds of thousands of devices around the world in order to “attack Ukraine on the day of the UEFA Champions League final match”. This match, we recall, will be held in Kiev 26 May. It will meet Real Madrid and English Liverpool.

From the statement of Cisco, in which all the blame for the "infection" is placed on Russia:
Security experts believe that the infection of equipment in Ukraine is a preparation for another act of cyber aggression by the Russian Federation, aimed at destabilizing the situation during the Champions League final.


US and SBU: Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine on the day of the Champions League final


Thus, it can be stated that the SBU made its findings precisely at the suggestion of American “analysts”.

In Reuters, they say that the Kremlin did not respond to a request from the news agency regarding the accusation of Cisco and the SBU against Russia.

If the Kremlin responds to all such accusations, then the administration of the president will have to work several hundred people, who, replacing each other, will be forced to comment on this nonsense.

Cisco said that the new malware, called VPNFilter, could be used to spy on it, interfere with an Internet connection, or launch a devastating attack on Ukraine. In particular, the software has the ability to disrupt power grids, given the number of infected computers it controls.

Could it be that Cisco itself decided to practice in Ukraine in order to promote its “protected” equipment for it in the wake of statements about “Russian cybergression”?

          Security experts believe that contamination of equipment in Ukraine is a preparation for yet another act of cyber aggression from the Russian Federation, aimed at destabilizing the situation during the Champions League final.

          But are Cisco sure that these are precisely their "experts" and not experts of the NSA or the CIA? Very specific formulations. smile

      The main disgust will be during the World Cup, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will trample on New Russia. Well, after the World Cup, I think the Kremlin will deal with the issue of Ukraine (maybe not right away). Why? Yes, because Ukraine is for the EU and the USA, like a suitcase without a handle, and they don’t know what to do with it. The RF will have to deal with this hemorrhage accordingly.

      Right Today I read, the prices for travel took off beyond the clouds, plus there are practically no direct flights, with transfers, the prices in hotels were overestimated, the private sector generally asked for accommodation in the palace.
      The cost of flights to Kiev soared by 250 percent, up to almost a thousand euros. The cheapest ticket to the capital of Ukraine for the match costs 791 euros. Moreover, for this "cheap" flight with a transfer you need to spend 20 hours 50 minutes, while the plane will arrive at 17:50 Saturday, when there is not enough time to get to the stadium.
      And secondly, accommodation in Kiev became an equally difficult problem for those who wanted to see the game.
      Ukrainian hoteliers - and simply enterprising citizens - decided to forge iron while it was still hot, and inflated prices. In principle, this is nothing out of the ordinary. Raising prices for “high season” and “hot” days is a common practice anywhere in the world.
      The problem is the scale of the rise in price. On the day of the Champions League final, a night in a Kiev hotel will cost an average of 700 euros, and living in apartments is even more expensive. Some hotels charge up to 12 thousand euros for two nights at the weekend when the finals will take place, while rooms at Hotel Complex Verhovina, 11 kilometers from the city center, have risen in price from 39 euros to 900 euros per night.

          The cost of flights to Kiev soared by 250 percent, up to almost a thousand euros.

          We have already considered the situation right up to the proposal in spite of hucksters to provide free accommodation and other things to tourists.
          In any world show, anywhere in the city of the world, jumps in housing and transport prices are skyrocketing. Kievans didn’t even feel at ease from this.
          At the Eurovision finals, prices lifted similarly.
