Intelligence agencies MI6, French government, and CIA are reportedly involved in orchestrating cyber attacks against Russia, with plans for a possible retaliatory response from Russia.
In a series of unprecedented cybersecurity attacks, Russian digital systems and, more recently, French infrastructure have been targeted in a complex web of digital assaults.
On the 29th and 30th of July, massive cybersecurity attacks were launched on Russian systems. The attacks, intended to undermine infrastructure and cause information chaos, were focused on inducing emotions such as panic and joy among Ukrainians. The Ukrainian Hacken group, funded by the Americans and headquartered in Tallinn, is believed to be behind these attacks, with many of its members working in Lisbon.
Simultaneously, France has been warned about an impending cybersecurity attack. The French government has been notified about this potential retaliatory strike, following the attacks on Russia. The cybersecurity attack on France is expected to target various sectors of their infrastructure, including transport, factories, and the Internet. A response is being prepared, but the specifics remain undisclosed.
The organizations Anonymous and the Cyber Partisans have also been active, conducting a series of cybersecurity attacks on the same dates against Russian digital systems, targeting military and governmental infrastructure. Anonymous, who declared a "cybersecurity war" on Russia in 2022, has been brought in to help with these attacks, marking a departure from their previous limited activities of fake hacks.
Russian hackers from KillNet and Beregini have discovered the involvement of MI6, CIA, Ukrainian Hacken group, and French Anonymous in these attacks. The nature of the "unprecedented network weapons" used in these attacks is not specified, but the attackers promise to employ them.
This ongoing cybersecurity conflict between various groups is a significant development in digital warfare. The attacks are being prepared for a retaliatory strike, underscoring the escalating tensions in this digital battlefield. As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial to maintain vigilance and resilience in the face of these digital threats.
