Exclusive: FBI Braces for Russian Cyber Attacks in US as Ukraine Tensions Rise
Newsweak ^ | 2/20/22

Posted on 02/20/2022 3:22:05 PM PST by BusterDog

An FBI report obtained by Newsweek has called on the U.S. private sector to be prepared for potential state-sponsored cyber attacks to be launched by Russia as tensions over Ukraine threaten to spill into an all-out conflict in Eastern Europe.

The Liason Information Report (LIR) was dated February 20 and attributed to the FBI Office of Private Sector.

"The FBI Cyber Division, in coordination with the FBI's Office of Private Sector (OPS), prepared this LIR to inform the private sector about the threat of Russian state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) cyber activities, while tensions with Russia are heightened," the report said.

"The FBI is engaging in efforts to support the U.S. response and to secure the Homeland from any Russian actions; historically, Russian state-sponsored APT cyber activities increase when tensions are high with Russia," the report added.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if all the cyber-shenanigans are coming from our side to support Biden’s dog-wagging.

The Russians Are Coming!!

I think that was the name of a movie. Not sure.

Well it’s good that we’re helping Ukraine secure it’s borders because we’re experts at it and have effectively 100 percent sealed ours.

Also, Ukraine is practically in our backyard so young American kids with their Whole Lives ahead of them should be sent to die in a freezing, semi 3rd world wasteland.

Nah. Oil lamps and kerosene lamps. Cook on a grill outside. Wool blankets and a main squeeze for warmth.

“Our invasion predictions are always wrong! Now what do we do? I’ve got it - predict a cyber-attack! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Even if nothing happens, we can say they did it!”

Waiting for the FBI to cause widespread cyber chaos and then blame it on the Russians.

Probably to keep him in when he’s sundowning.

According to JR Nyquist in one of the comments on his site, maybe in one of his articles, he had a source tell him more than a week ago, maybe a bit longer, that Russia threatened to take out our power grid if we issued sanctions after they invaded Ukraine. This would be done either with a cyberattack or with an EMP weapon, per Nyquist’s speculation.

Nyquist also said that his source also told him that Russia had already told various countries directly, through “visitors”, that the invasion was going to happen. The Russians themselves might have even been the ones to give the old February 16th date.

In coming false flag.

Any excuse for the war machine to get started up.

It’s very dangerous given the fact that Russia has nukes.

The answer on Ukraine has to be - Spending has Consequences.

The Dems loved - Elections have Consequences.

They spent all the money and now weโ€™re broke and all Crisised out.
