Cyberwar with European nations, including Ukraine could be deadly -

Moscow/Kyiv: Russian hackers have warned that the ongoing cyberwar between Ukraine and supporting countries could be deadly. Even before the Russia-Ukraine conflict began, cyberattacks had started between the two countries. After the conflict started, Anonymous, the world’s largest hacker group, started attacking Russia in support of Ukraine. After that, a big cyber war erupted between Russia and Western countries. Against this background, the warning issued by Russian hackers becomes noteworthy.

Before the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russian hackers played havoc by launching major attacks on Ukrainian agencies. Ukraine then called on Western countries and hackers worldwide to cooperate in cyberattacks against Russia. Responding to it, many hackers from Europe and the United States started launching cyberattacks against Russia. The largest group of hackers, Anonymous, announced a cyberwar against Russia.

Moreover, Killnet, a group of Russian hackers, retaliated against the cyberattacks by Anonymous. A few days ago, it was also revealed that Russian hackers had targeted several systems, including defence companies in the United States. It included ‘Himars Rocket System’ and the company ‘Lockheed Martin’. But with the new warning of Russian hackers, there are indications that the cyber war is going to a new level.

In the warning given by the head of the Russian group Kilnet, it has been warned that they will launch significant attacks on the US and European systems and many people may be killed. Killnet chief also warned that Russian hackers would kill Ukrainian hackers if pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian hackers came face to face.

Meanwhile, reports have also been released saying senior officials from Ukraine recently visited Europe and United States and met Western cyber security experts and hackers.
