in #eu7 years ago


In the light of the technical development, the new war is becoming increasingly apparent. The hacker attacks supported by certain countries are increasing sharply recently to reach very important infrastructure, such as the recent attack on nuclear plants and companies in charge of the energy field in the United States of America.


According to Reuters news agency, a new attack by unknown Hackers is currently affecting the construction of European networks, especially the British similar to last week's attacks on the United States.


A European security source said that the British authorities were aware of attempts to penetrate the infrastructure and that they were in regular contact with other governments on these attacks.


According to a former British official, hackers or Russian government hackers are trying to penetrate Britain's vital infrastructure, but according to the Washington Post, either the first attacks on the US energy field or the UK's communications infrastructure is a process of assessing and testing the protection capability With these facilities.


US officials acknowledged that the systems and computers of European and American vital installations (transportation, electricity ...) were not built with strong enough protection to repel external attacks, especially as hackers evolved to penetrate the most powerful devices and computers as they were protected.


The same report noted that the FBI and the Pentagon were aware of the attacks and all energy companies warned of hackers' foreign attempts to gain access to the energy field in the country.
