El gobierno ruso ha advertido a EE. UU. y sus aliados que corren el riesgo de un \u201cenfrentamiento militar directo\u201d si contin\u00faan los ataques cibern\u00e9ticos a su infraestructura.\u00a0Recientemente
The Russian government has reportedly warned the US and its allies that they risk a \u201cdirect military clash\u201d if cyber-attacks on its infrastructure continue.<\/p>\n
The threats\u00a0follow reports<\/a>\u00a0earlier this week that Russia\u2019s Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities website had been hacked and defaced with the message \u201cGlory to Ukraine\u201d posted on its homepage.<\/p>\n A foreign ministry statement seen by\u00a0Reuters<\/a>\u00a0blamed actors in the US and Ukraine for mounting attacks on critical infrastructure and state institutions.<\/p>\n It claimed the US was \u201cdeliberately lowering the threshold for the combat use\u201d of IT and threatened potential real-world retaliation.<\/p>\n \u201cThe militarization of the information space by the West, and attempts to turn it into an arena of interstate confrontation, have greatly increased the threat of a direct military clash with unpredictable consequences,\u201d it reportedly said.<\/p>\n The websites of countless Russian state-owned companies and government organizations, from airlines to banks and even\u00a0an alcohol distribution portal,<\/a>\u00a0have been regularly disrupted by DDoS attacks since the start of the war.<\/p>\n Other attacks have sought to compromise and leak user data and even wipe customer and corporate records\u00a0from cloud databases.<\/a><\/p>\n President Putin was last month\u00a0forced to publicly recognize<\/a>\u00a0the scale of the impact and called for enhanced cyber-defenses and reduced reliance on foreign-made software and hardware.<\/p>\n However, the reality is that Russia gives as good as it gets in cyberspace. It has been blamed for a\u00a0large number of DDoS\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0destructive malware attacks<\/a>\u00a0in Ukraine since the start of the invasion.<\/p>\n
