Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>US President Joe Biden has called on private companies and organisations in the US to \u201clock their digital doors\u201d, claiming that intelligence suggests Russia is planning a cyber-attack on the US.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s cyber-authorities are also supporting the White House\u2019s calls for \u201cincreased cyber-security precautions\u201d, though neither has given any evidence that Russia is planning a cyber-attack.<\/p>\n

Russia has previously stated that such accusations are \u201cRussophobic\u201d. However, Russia is a cyber-superpower with a serious arsenal of cyber-tools, and hackers capable of disruptive and potentially destructive cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has remained relatively untroubled by Russian cyber-offensives but experts now fear that Russia may go on a cyber-offensive against Ukraine\u2019s allies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiden\u2019s warnings seem plausible, particularly as the West introduced more sanctions, hacktivists continue to join the fray, and the kinetic aspects of the invasion seemingly don\u2019t go to plan,\u201d says Jen Ellis, from cyber-security firm Rapid7. Here are the hacks that experts most fear.<\/p>\n

BlackEnergy \u2013 targeted critical infrastructure attack<\/b><\/p>\n

Ukraine is often described as the hacking playground of Russia, which has carried out attacks there seemingly to test techniques and tools. In 2015 Ukraine\u2019s electricity grid was disrupted by a cyber-attack called BlackEnergy, which caused a short-term blackout for 80,000 customers of a utility company in western Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Nearly exactly a year later another cyber-attack known as Industroyer took out power for about one-fifth of Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, for about an hour. The US and EU named and blamed Russian military hackers for the attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia could absolutely try to execute an attack like this against the West as an illustration of capabilities and to make a statement,\u201d says Ukrainian cyber-security responder Marina Krotofil, who helped investigate the power cut hacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, no cyber-attack against a power grid has resulted in an extended interruption of power supply.<\/p>\n

Executing cyber-attacks on complex engineering systems in a reliable way is extremely difficult and achieving a prolonged damaging effect is sometimes impossible due to in-built protections.<\/p>\n

Experts like Ms Krotofil also hypothesise that this could backfire on Russia too, as the West is most likely to have a decent foothold in Russian networks too.<\/p>\n

NotPetya \u2013 uncontrollable destruction<\/b><\/p>\n

NotPetya is thought to be the most costly cyber-attack in history and has been blamed on a group of Russian military hackers by the US, UK and EU authorities.<\/p>\n

The destructive software was hidden in an update of popular accounting software used in Ukraine, but spread worldwide destroying the computer systems of thousands of companies and causing approximately $10bn (\u00a37.5bn) of damage.<\/p>\n

North Korean hackers are accused of causing huge disruption with a similar attack a month earlier. The WannaCry \u201cworm\u201d (a kind of virus) scrambled data on approximately 300,000 computers in 150 countries.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s National Health Service was forced to cancel large numbers of medical appointments. \u201cThese kinds of attacks would cause the greatest opportunity for mass chaos, economic instability, and even loss of life,\u201d says Ms Ellis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might sound far-fetched, but critical infrastructure often depends on connected technologies, just as much as every other part of our modern lives, and we have seen the potential for that with the impact of the WannaCry on UK hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201d However, computer scientist Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey, says such attacks carry risks for Russia too.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese types of uncontrollable hacks are much more like biological warfare, in that it\u2019s very difficult to target specific critical infrastructure in specific places. WannaCry and NotPetya saw victims in Russia too. \u201d<\/p>\n

Colonial Pipeline \u2013 cyber-criminal attacks intensify<\/b><\/p>\n

In May 2021, a state of emergency was declared in a number of US states after hackers caused a vital oil pipeline to shut down. Colonial Pipeline carries 45% of the east coast\u2019s supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel and the supply led to panic at the pumps.<\/p>\n

This attack wasn\u2019t carried out by Russian government hackers, but by the DarkSide ransomware group, which is thought to be based in Russia. The pipeline company admitted to paying criminals $4.4m in hard-to-trace Bitcoin, in order to get computer systems back up and running.<\/p>\n

A few weeks later meat supplies were affected when another ransomware crew called REvil attacked JBS, the world\u2019s largest beef processor. One of the big fears experts have about Russian cyber-capabilities is that the Kremlin may instruct cyber-crime groups to co-ordinate attacks on US targets, to maximise disruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe benefit of instructing cyber-criminals to carry out ransomware attacks is the general chaos they can cause. In large enough numbers they can cause serious economic damage,\u201d Prof Woodward says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also comes with the added bonus of plausible deniability as these groups are a step removed from an attack by the Russian state.<\/p>\n

How could the US respond?<\/b><\/p>\n

In the highly unlikely case that a Nato country is on the receiving end of a cyber-attack that causes loss of life or huge irreparable damage, then this could trigger Article 5, the alliance\u2019s collective defence clause.<\/p>\n

But experts say this would drag Nato into a war it does not want to be a part of, so any response is more likely to be from the US and close allies. President Biden has already said that \u201cwe are prepared to respond\u201d if Russia launches a large attack on the US.<\/p>\n

However, the unprecedented cyber-chaos seen in Ukraine in recent weeks from vigilante hackers on either side of the war shows how easily things can escalate. So any action is likely to be extremely carefully considered.<\/p>\n
