US Pulls Back Curtain on Russian Cyber Operations Twitter Get Permission
While the Biden administration is betting that the latest round of sanctions against Russia will help deter the country s cyber operations, several U.S. agencies, including the National Security Agency, used the sanctions announcement as an opportunity to pull back the curtain on the tactics of Russia s Foreign Intelligence Service.
Russia s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday denied that the country was involved in the SolarWinds supply chain attack as well as election disinformation campaigns, as the U.S. alleged in announcing the sanctions. And on Friday, Russia responded to the sanctions by expelling 10 U.S. diplomats and blacklisting eight officials, according to The Washington Post.
