U.S. hackers are routinely targeting Russia's defense and atomic energy industry to steal key data, Russian officials announced on Thursday.
"First and foremost energy and missile building, as well as information from public administration systems," Murashov continued. "Thanks to such preventive measures this year alone malware attacks against more than 7,000 critical infrastructure facilities in Russia and [Collective Security Treaty Organization] member-states have been thwarted. This effective regional cooperation is highly needed," Murashov told reporters.
"Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country," the president tweeted.
