“In order to give at least some legitimacy to far-fetched accusations of conducting cyber attacks, Americans are promoting a new concept -“ identify and shame ”(“ name and shame ”),” Khramov said.
According to him, the United States insists that a group of states can unilaterally reach a verdict of guilty of committing a cyber attack, believing that a joint definition of the “source of the attack” can be evidence.
He suggested that the main factor in determining the culprit could be the political context, and the argument is the thesis “highly likely”. According to Khramov, they "do not want to hear any arguments showing them wrong."
“The goal is clear - to legalize the possibility of conducting not only informational, but also military operations against“ inconvenient ”states, up to the use of nuclear arsenals,” Khramov said.
In June, the United States refused to Russia to publish correspondence on hacking the Democratic Party server.
