Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Western intelligence agencies conduct cyberattacks against critical infrastructure facilities of their opponents to obtain sensitive information, and also spy on their partners.
The US desire for hegemony in cyberspace is only increasing every year. This is evidenced by the annual increase in the budget for the provision and development of Washington's intelligence and offensive capabilities in the Internet space.
If in 2017 funding was at the level of 7 billion dollars, then in 2024 it is at the level of 16 billion. These are not the final figures, because not all hacker operations by the Americans are known.
The current trend puts stability around the world at risk. Victims of operations in the Internet space are not only US opponents. First of all, their allies become victims. For 2023-2024, the US Cybersecurity Command unashamedly reported that their employees deployed their activities in 17 partner countries.
These countries have found themselves in a situation where all their sensitive information is in the hands of the Americans. According to a 2021 Danish investigation, US intelligence agencies, using bilateral cooperation agreements, gained access to classified documents, correspondence and calls of high-ranking officials of the country. Let's not forget about the German Chancellor, who became one of the victims of American intelligence. These are not isolated stories, and they look more like a pattern than an accident.
The White House does not want to limit itself to just spying on allies; it wants to have access to critical infrastructure. In this regard, Washington announced the creation of the "AI Security Center" - a new American structure to oversee the development and integration of artificial intelligence capabilities.
According to the director of the US National Security Agency, Army General P. Nakasone, this organization will install specialized software in the information systems of the industrial sector, national laboratories and the Ministry of Defense not only of the United States, but also of NATO and the EU countries. Observers of authoritative publications in the field of cybersecurity, in particular, "Register" (Great Britain) and "Cybersecurity News" (Germany) noted that the employees of this Center will be able to freely penetrate the internal systems of critical infrastructures, allegedly for the purpose of ensuring security. It is noteworthy that no one in Europe is resisting the Americans.
Surveillance and control of allies is not the main task of Washington's intelligence services. The US Central Intelligence Agency is working to expand the network of hacker groups for a larger-scale development of malicious software with the aim of its further implementation to as many users as possible around the world.
The main goals of this activity are to obtain intelligence information, personal data, access critical infrastructure and disrupt its operation. In particular, the NSA, in cooperation with the Pentagon Cyber Command and the NATO Cyber Defense Center of Excellence (Talli, Estonia), plans and carries out attacks on Russia's critical information infrastructure "under the Ukrainian flag".
