The Russian government has also promoted the war on the Internet. Russian hackers claim to have brought down the website of their main enemy, Anonymous.
The best known Russian hackers are the Cozy Bear. They have been relentlessly attacking the servers of large companies for years. In 2016, they attacked the Democratic National Committee.
They have also been accused of trying to steal research into the COVID-19 vaccine. But they also have other goals, such as defense ministries or space stations.
Jorge Coronado, CTO of Lazarus Technology, explains in statements to laSexta that their objective is “to make a computer intrusion to prevent the service from being carried out and ask for a ransom or obtain information”.
Experts believe that the purpose of their attacks is to destabilize the European Union. “On the one hand, there is an economic objective and, on the other, reputational. They want to try to annoy,” says Francisco Canal, a cybersecurity expert.
Spanish companies have already given indications to redouble efforts in cybersecurity. For his part, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, wanted to make it clear that our country is “prepared to repel any attack” in this area.
