Russian cyberattack threats rise

A multi-million dollar tech company is warning Russia is likely to increase its cyber attacks on Western nations

The CEO of cyber-security giant Crowd-Strike says the Kremlin is likely to launch large-scale cyber attacks against the West, all in response to sanctions.

Russia has been accused of being responsible for multiple cyber attacks this year in the lead-up to the Ukraine War and some attacks that have occurred during the invasion.

The Crowd-Strike boss warns Russia is likely to target “key areas” – and that could be things like government.

Meanwhile, the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a ‘Shields Up’ warning for US companies and organisations back in February, suggesting further attacks by Russia could be still to come.
