    At least the US doesn’t harbor cybercriminals that target civilian infrastructure like Russia does. Hospitals, schools, and banks have all been harmed with the full approval of the Russian government.

          reuters is just reporting on a blog article, and assuming that the people who published that blog are what they say they are.

          this is tabloid level nonsense.

            Fine, do your own damn search, it’s not hard. Russia cybercrime ransomware. This is a well known tactic by the Kremlin.

              This is a well known propaganda tactic from American intelligence agencies.

                And a minimal effort search would bring up dozens of articles about how pervasive this Russian tactic is. I’m not even that dialed into the security community and I’ve heard plenty about it.

                  Are any of those articles true?

                    Are you doubting this based on expertise or knee jerk suspicion of anything unflattering of Russia?

        You really like low effort dismissals with “NATO” or “US”, don’t you?

        No, more along the lines of ransomware usually. The deal is that they have free range to operate on enemy targets, but they must not attack Russian targets. One piece of ransomware for Windows did this by checking for a Russian language pack.
