Virus-extortionist from GRU? The Americans, the British and the Australians found the Russian "demons"

Russia is involved in the cyber attack, which used the virus notpetya reported in the United States. The attack was made in june of last year and touched not only america but also Europe with asia. Damage is expressed in billions of dollars. The UK foreign office also believes that the cyber attack was organized by the Russian authorities.

Finally, australian intelligence said that the organization of cyber attacks supported by the Kremlin. These accusations are surprising because from the actions of hackers has suffered and russia. According to deputy minister of foreign affairs of great Britain tariq ahmad, who is responsible for cybersecurity issues, the government of Russia and the Russian armed forces responsible for the cyber attack, carried out in june 2017 with the use of a virus notpetya. European companies suffered major damage from these attacks is in the hundreds of millions of pounds. Lord ahmad publicly attributed cyber attack notpetya the Russian government. The decision to publicly announce that underlines the fact that Britain and its allies will not tolerate "Malicious cyberactivity".

This is stated on the website of the british government. Attack disguised "As a criminal enterprise," but its main purpose is penetration, i believe in london. And the primary targets were "Ukrainian financial, energy and public sectors". The total penetration of the virus has caused its further spread. Way affected other European countries and even Russia itself. Lord tariq ahmad on behalf of the government of the united kingdom stated that the Russian government, in particular the Russian military, are responsible for the destructive cyber attack notpetya conducted in june 2017.

The goal is the violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. "Reckless run" this virus has violated the activities of enterprises in Europe, which cost them "Hundreds of millions of pounds". The Kremlin "Sees russia" as a state, "Directly opposed to the West". This "Shouldn't be", said lord ahmad. "We call on Russia to be a responsible member of the international community," he says. Then the lord promised that the united kingdom will identify, pursue, and respond to Malicious cyberactivity regardless of where it comes from.

Britain is committed to strengthening "Coordinated international efforts to maintain free, open, peaceful and secure cyberspace". Behind him, as noted by the Western press, was made by the Danish defense minister claus frederiksen yort. He categorically stated that traces of the virus are "Directly in russia, to the Russian military. " earlier it was reported that due to the attack suffered system of the company "A. P. Moller-maersk" (Denmark). Australia is also accused Russia in the attack.

As noted by the newspaper "The australian", with links to australian intelligence, and also the outcome of government consultations with the us authorities and great Britain, the australian government concluded that "The Russian authorities supported the responsible for the incident". The main thing in the way, of course, the usa. According to Washington, with the virus-the extortioner is russia. Attack by virus notpetya in june 2017, organized by the Russian intelligence, said the representative of the white house sarah sanders. Introduction to computers virus-the extortioner subsequently led to "Losses in the billions of dollars in Europe, asia and the americas. " sanders found and the desire of the Kremlin to destabilize Ukraine with a virus. According to sanders, the attack was "Part of an ongoing effort of the Kremlin to destabilize Ukraine, even more clearly demonstrates Russian involvement in the ongoing conflict. " curiously, what is "Hot" statement sounded very much time: a few days earlier, the american intelligence community warned that Russia and its allies may use their "Cyberinsurance" to interfere in upcoming elections in the us congress (to be held in november). As you can see, the charge is not just serious, but peremptory.

The attack made Moscow. And the whole english-speaking choir — the United States, australia, united kingdom, together singing one song: blame the Kremlin, the virus is unleashed on the free nations of the Kremlin. Almost all of Europe sings along with america and australia. Virus notpetya became something of a feature around which the disparate democratic states of the old world once again should unite. "The Russians are coming!" this ridiculous slogan now acquired the other, a truly terrible sound: if before any Europeans in the mass, nor the americans believed that Russians would start a nuclear war in Europe, they are now starting to believe something else: Russian will rob them of their money.

That is easier to believe, and evidence from all kinds of "Intelligence" (even from australia) arrived. "It was a reckless and indiscriminate attack, which will entail international consequences," warned the Kremlin to the white house. The Russian has responded to foreign statements. In particular, commenting on the statement of the deputy foreign minister of great Britain lord ahmad, the press secretary of the president of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin categorically rejects the groundless accusations against Russia of involvement in the cyber attack. How did such a dreadful virus, none of the Western intelligence services, followed by the australian, says. As always, the West has the evidence got lost somewhere "In the office". Meanwhile, the prosecution put forward very serious: we are talking not about trying to influence the election in some of the countries of Europe, and the damage to many billions. The bourgeoisie can forgive much, but not losing money. Attack notpetya started, we will remind, on june 27 last year.

The first under it were, as the press wrote, petroleum, telecommunication and financial companies in Ukraine. Virus-extortionist broke through the defense computers of the sixty-four (!) states. Its geography stretches from belgium to Denmark with Germany, India and brazil to the United States. However, the trick is that in Russia the virus-the extortioner has suffered a number of major companies, including "Rosneft", "Bashneft", the bank "Home credit" and expected to "Gazprom" (the exact data is still there). Information about what the virus notpetya created in the gru, first appeared in january 2018.

About this, citing unnamed cia sources, reported major newspaper the Washington post. A cyber attack, 2017 attributed to the alleged "Russian military hackers" by the cia. Notpetya attack, the newspaper writes, wiped data from the computers of banks, energy companies, senior government officials and the airport. According to "Secret records" of the cia, the virus notpetya has created a "Military spies" gru (gru). However, this information directly into the cia declined to comment, the newspaper specifies. According to the newspaper, these attacks "Reflect a growing Russian aggression in cyberspace". These attacks are "Part of a broader doctrine of hybrid war". The expert told reporters that the virus notpetya not really ramping up, it's only disguised as a blackmailer.

His task is to permanently erase data from computers. According to sources from the cia, the hackers worked for the main center of special technologies, Russian unit, which is actively involved in the "Program of cyber attacks gru". No names, no evidence, the newspaper does not. * * * what might be the consequences of such a serious accusations against the Kremlin? Western experts and politicians are waiting for this "Fire storm" in international diplomacy. British defense secretary gavin williamson said that Russia is "Tearing apart the rulebook, undermining democracy, destroying attacks on key infrastructure, everything that gives people jobs, and paying the information to the weapons. " this is the same russia, we recall, whose economy in 2014, "Ripped to shreds" mr. Obama. Well, in the United States made to the press by the former chairman of the intelligence committee of the house of representatives mike rogers and former nsa deputy director rick legette.

They tied a viral attack intervention in the american elections in 2016. "One of the most dangerous misconceptions associated with Russian interference in american democracy, is that it began and ended with the presidential election of 2016," said rogers legette. In their view, the U.S. Government should establish a task force to combat foreign influence, and the administration of the Trump shall have the authority "To deter foreign forces" involved "In a hostile campaigns influence and cyber operations". And note, the giant us defence budget, part of which is devoted to the struggle with russia, will allocate money for kiberprestuplenie. It is not excluded that the planet is on the verge of a very special war: hacking.

The war in which they will not drop bombs, but will break a computer system. Surveyed and commented oleg chuvakin — specially for topwar. Ru.
