Top US cyber official asks Americans to look out for Russian hacking efforts
"All businesses, all critical infrastructure owners and operators need to assume that disruptive cyber activity is something that the Russians are thinking about, that are preparing for, that are exploring options, as the President said," Jen Easterly, director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency , said in an exclusive interview with CNN's Pamela Brown.
Easterly called Biden's statement, which said Russia was conducting"preparatory activity" for a potential cyberattack,"pretty unprecedented.""I think what makes the moment different is just seeing what the Russians have done with this unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and then understanding there can be some very real consequences of that in cyberspace," Easterly told CNN.
