Cyber Activity Surges as Russia Masses on Ukraine’s Border

Russia has moved 175,000 soldiers to its border with Ukraine, as Russian President Vladimir Putin has continued to criticize NATO and Ukraine’s plans to join the organization. “We have made it clear that NATO’s move to the East is unacceptable,” Putin said at a Thursday press conference. “The United States is standing with missiles on our doorstep. Is it an excessive requirement not to install shock systems at our house? How would the Americans react if missiles were placed at the border with Canada or Mexico?” The White House says it’s closely monitoring the moves by Moscow, together with the CIA, National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command.
