Attempts have been made to launch cyber attacks on various important organizations in the United States. It is considered to be the biggest cyber attack in the history of the United States. According to the United Kingdom, the US Department of Energy is in charge of managing the country's nuclear arsenal. As a result, such cyber attacks pose a serious threat to the security of nuclear weapons. The cyber-attacks, which began in March, have damaged "critical infrastructure".
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also accused Russia of being behind the US cyber attack. In an interview, Pompeo said Russia had a hand in the incident. Mike Pompeo also said that Russia has been trying to carry out cyber attacks on various government agencies and private companies in the United States for months. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said Russia is trying to disrupt our lives.
The U.S. Department of Energy says malicious software has been found in their systems. That list includes more than 40 service recipients from government institutions, research institutes, non-governmental organizations and technology institutes. Eighty percent of these organizations are in the United States. The cyber-attacks targeted many important organizations, including the US Department of the Treasury. The cyber attack targeted various US companies as well as some of the country's technology companies. Russia has denied any involvement in the attack, but Russia has denied the allegations.
Incumbent President Donald Trump has not yet commented on the cyber attack. However, Trump tweeted that China may also be involved in the cyber attack. He blamed Beijing for the attack. China has called President Donald Trump's claim a farce. China countered by saying that the United States was constantly trying to tarnish China's image and mislead the international community by spreading false information without conclusive evidence.
Newly elected US President Joe Biden has declared cyber security a "top priority" of his administration. We will take appropriate action against those who carried out the attack. But first we have to resist cyber attacks at an early stage. Otherwise we will face more difficult problems. Because it is not yet known how much information they have stolen.
