Russia's warning to the West about cyberattacks

Russia has warned that in the event of an American cyber attack against this country there will be irreparable consequences for the US and its partners. According to the RT news agency, Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council "Oleg Khramov" said on Monday: "Moscow's reaction to the cyber attack by the US and its allies is unpredictable." Khramov added: The defeat of the Ukrainian army could force the United States to use offensive cyber weapons against Moscow. The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council emphasized: The West's desire to impose a strategic defeat on Russia increases the possibility of a global cyber conflict. Previously, Gennady Askaldovich, special representative of the Russian Foreign Minister, announced that Western countries had attempted to disrupt the election campaign in Russia by staging more than 170,000 cyber attacks. According to this Russian official, during the Russian elections from September 8 to 10, 2023, 175 thousand cyber attacks were observed on the portal of the Central Election Commission of this country.
