The Trump administration's recent stance reflects a significant shift in policy regarding Russia's cyber threat, omitting its mention in discussions of cybersecurity. This change has raised concerns among experts, who warn that it could leave the US open to cyber attacks, especially given Russia's history of cyber aggression. Recent remarks by Liesyl Franz at a UN meeting explicitly highlighted threats from China and Iran, ignoring Russia's notorious involvement in ransomware activities such as LockBit. Allies in the EU and UK disagreed, emphasizing Russia's ongoing malicious cyber actions, particularly against Ukraine.
It's incomprehensible to give a speech about threats in cyberspace and not mention Russia and it's delusional to think this will turn Russia and the FSB into our friends.
The shift in US policy, signaling that Russia is not viewed as a cyber threat, could make the US vulnerable to cyber attacks, experts warn.
