“The head of the US Cyber Command, Paul Nakasone, publicly acknowledges the fact of conducting offensive cyber operations against Russia, including, and above all, the hands of the Ukrainian IT army created by the Americans,” RIA Novosti quoted the diplomat as saying.
According to him, since the beginning of the year, the number of attacks on domestic network resources has more than quadrupled compared to last year's figures.
Shin noted that most of them come from the US and EU countries.
“The scale of cyber aggression confirms that it is being carried out in a coordinated manner by the authorities of Western countries with the involvement of the hacker community and private companies,” the diplomat emphasized.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, said earlier that the number of cyber attacks on Russia in 2022 increased by 80%.
Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia German Zubarev reported on the tense situation with cyber attacks on Russian banks.
