Patrushev: foreign intelligence agencies seek vulnerabilities in the Russian IT sector

“The objects of critical information infrastructure in Russia remain the main goals for providing harmful influence, which will create real threats to national security,” RIA Novosti quoted him at a meeting in Omsk.

Previously, hackers attacked the mail of the Russian Embassy in Latvia.

At the end of June, Yandex announced that it had detected and neutralized attempts to cyber attacks on its services at the end of 2018.

The Russian Ministry of Defense, in turn, called for an adequate assessment of the threats of cyber attacks in the face of increasing US activity in cyberspace.
