Russia, a nation that has been on the offensive when it comes to cyber attacks, is now facing its own onslaught of hacks as multiple sanctions hit the country from the West.
The number of cyber attacks by foreign state structures has increased several times over, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Western suppliers stopped technical support of their equipment in Russia in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to Putin. There have been many data leaks since then, from Russia's second-biggest bank to e-commerce sites.
Russia has been trying to improve its internet infrastructure for a long time. During tests last summer, it disconnected from the global internet. The Western sanctions imposed over the past few months have not been mitigated by the tests.
Despite being caught off guard by multiple attacks already, the nation says it is ready for more. According to the state-owned news agency, Putin called the sanctions failures.
Putin said that cyber aggression against us, as well as in general the sanctions attack on Russia, have failed.
This comes as Ukraine continues to disrupt Russian targets including online payment services, government departments, aviation companies, and food delivery firms. The IT Army of Ukraine attacks a new list of Russian targets at 5 a.m. every day.
