Cyber Attack

An effective cybersecurity culture requires aware and diligent personnel who are trained to recognize risks and established processes to ensure that breaches are effectively managed when they happen, with up-to-date and well-implemented technology solutions.

Last week, a senior Russian foreign official told the United Nations that "quasi-civilian infrastructure may be a legitimate target for a retaliatory strike."

Is the Russian-Ukraine conflict "the first cyber world war"? Researchers, scholars and government officials appear divided on the question.

The founder of a Russian hacker group said he aims to make countries that support Ukraine "answer for each of our soldiers."

Lawmakers should ensure implementation of new laws deliver real freedom of choice for technology under conditions that benefit Western democracies more than those wishing to harm us and our way of life.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov levelled a raft of allegations at the West on Friday, including that Russia's rivals are meddling in its upcoming elections.

One expected order of business is a revision of the NATO charter to include cyberattacks among the actions that would prompt a collective response from the alliance's member nations.

The current U.S. economic situation is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Annual deficits and the national debt can't keep rising endlessly as Modern Monetary Policy theorists suggest. Asset bubbles always burst.

The altercation took place amid reports that nearly 1,800 stations across the Eastern U.S. have run out of gas after a ransomware attack halted operations on the Colonial Pipeline last week.

President Joe Biden said that although U.S. intelligence had found no evidence to link the attack with the Russian government, he believed the country had "some responsibility to deal with" the issue.

The FBI accused the group of being responsible for the shutdown of a major U.S. oil pipeline last week.

Scripps Health in San Diego County was targeted by a cyberattack over the weekend, and the hospital system's website remained offline Monday afternoon.
