OREANDA-NEWS. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov told reporters that he excludes the use of cyber attacks for government purposes, as this is "banditry."

“The fact is that this (that is, some kind of threat against the West from Russia) is real. And what I really want to mention right away to all of you is that, in my opinion, in our opinion, one of the tools that he (Russian President Vladimir Putin - ed.) most likely uses is a cyber attack. ' Biden said.

Russia "has an extremely sophisticated capability in cyberspace," he said, and the United States "should wait with caution for what comes next."

The journalists asked the Kremlin representative to comment on the words of US President Joe Biden that Russia could respond to Western sanctions with cyberattacks.

“The Russian Federation does not engage in banditry at the state level, unlike the West,” Peskov said.

Earlier, an adviser to the American leader on cybersecurity, Ann Neuberger, also said that the Russian Federation could allegedly consider the possibility of a cyber attack on American critical structures. She stressed that Washington will respond to cyber attacks if they establish Moscow's involvement in them.
