The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,Β Kevin McIntyre stated in the document that the Russian government hackers launched a “multi-stage intrusion action” on the network of small business facilities in the United States. During this period, they used malicious software, phishing, and other means to obtain remote access to energy. Department network permissions.Β However, these two government departments did not specify the name of the company or factory that was attacked.

This direct condemnation of the Moscow side showed that the Trump administration began to take action on Russia’s renewed attacks on other countries’ networks.Β Just a few weeks ago, senior U.S. intelligence officials pointed out that the Kremlin believes that they can launch hacking operations in the West without any penalty.
