Fears of Russian cyberattacks grow in the U.S.

CNN– There are fears of massive Russian cyberattacks here in the U.S. A senior FBI cyber official warns U.S. businesses and local governments they should be vigilant against potential ransomware attacks. Days earlier, multiple U.S. agencies issued a similar warning to executives at major U.S. banks. That’s according to people with knowledge of both meetings.

Russia has shown an ability to cause significant disruption and damage in cyberspace in the past. In fact, some of the biggest cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure in the past two years have been linked to suspected Russian hackers.
