The United States has made the decision to suspend operations and planning for offensive cyber operations against Russia, according to a senior US official. This move is considered a significant setback, as the planning process for such operations requires time and thorough research to execute effectively.
The concern raised by the official is that the suspension of offensive cyber operations could potentially leave the US more vulnerable to cyberattacks from Russia. Moscow is known to possess a skilled group of hackers capable of disrupting critical infrastructure and gathering sensitive intelligence.
