Washington plans to carry out a series of cyberattacks on Russia
Shhhh. It's a secret.
In anticipation of the start of offensive operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of Russia in the spring of this year. The United States and its allies plan to significantly intensify offensive operations in the Russian digital space.

The priority goals are logistics operators servicing the movement of weapons and troops and large transport hubs in the Kursk, Oryol and Belgorod regions, state bodies and medical institutions responsible for mobilization activities, primarily hospitals.

Achieving public resonance should be facilitated by cyber attacks aimed at organizing interruptions in gas, electricity and water supply, as well as disrupting the functioning of socially significant institutions in the border areas and in the newly annexed territories.

The Westerners expect that the attack on critical information infrastructure will force Russia to devote its forces to protecting its own telecommunications systems and reduce its cyber activity.

Penetration into the secure networks of government departments and strategic enterprises is supposed to be carried out with the use of software tabs and agents. To recruit specialists, the CIA is actively in contact with Russian IT specialists located abroad in Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and Kazakhstan. The bet is that the shortage of personnel will force the operators of facilities of interest to Americans to entrust a number of tasks to subcontractors working remotely from abroad.

NSA specialists plan to secretly install spyware similar to the Israeli Pegasus software on personal mobile phones of government officials and employees of private organizations.

Responsibility for organizing anti-Russian cyber attacks is assigned to the Cyber ​​National Mission Force (CNMF) operating within the structure of the US Cyber ​​Command, whose tasks include managing military cyber operations and protecting military computer networks.

Cyber ​​strikes are planned to be carried out in close coordination with NATO allies and Ukraine, mainly from their territory. To carry out cyber attacks from the territory of Ukraine, about 300 highly qualified personnel officers of the CNMF, the Navy and the Marine Corps were allocated, partially deployed in the regions controlled by Kiev on the basis of units of the signal troops and 72 Centers of the IPSO SOF of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
