Russia’s FSB said Pentagon, NATO states behind massive cyberattacks from Ukraine against Russia

The Pentagon and NATO countries are behind massive cyberattacks from Ukrainian territory against the Russian critical infrastructure, the press office of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed.

Over 5,000 hacker attacks on Russian critical infrastructure have been recorded since the beginning of 2022, the press office said in a statement. ‘The analysis of revealed computer threats has helped obtain data evidencing that the United States and NATO countries used Ukrainian territory for carrying out massive computer attacks on civilian infrastructure facilities in Russia,’ the security agency stated. The FSB further claimed that Washington wants to portray only Ukraine as the ‘author” of these cyberattacks. However, FSB stressed that the Pentagon is directly involved in developing these cyberattacks in consultation with international and national hacker groups such as Anonymous, Silence, Ghost Clan from the United States, RedHack from Turkey, GNG from Georgia, and Squad 303 from Poland.
