"Putin will know about them": the United States is preparing a number of cyber attacks against Russia
The United States will launch a series of cyberattacks against Russian systems linked to authorities that Putin will "know." According to the New York Times, citing sources, the attacks will be combined with economic sanctions.
According to the publication, which cites unnamed sources in the White House administration, Washington plans to conduct a series of "covert counterattacks" on systems linked to the Kremlin within three weeks. At the same time, it is argued that the attacks will become known to "the Russian military, intelligence and President Vladimir Putin," but the rest of the world will not guess about it.
Also, the United States is planning to introduce a number of economic sanctions, which should follow in the wake of cyber attacks.
All of the above will be applied in response to "hacker attacks carried out by the Kremlin." According to the publication, the United States attributed to Russia a number of cyberattacks, allegedly aimed at hacking federal networks and government agencies of the United States. As previously stated in Washington, the hacking was carried out by the Cozy Bear hacker group, which works for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
In addition to "cyber strikes" on Russia, the United States is planning a series of attacks on China in response to the hacking of Microsoft, which is allegedly behind the Chinese hacker group Hafnium, controlled by the PRC authorities. According to Washington, Chinese hackers tried to steal information from several organizations and institutions, but failed to gain access to the most important data.
