TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foreign secret services in 2023 constantly tried to launch cyberattacks on Russia's information infrastructure, the interdepartmental commission of Russia’s Security Council said.
"Special services of foreign countries in cooperation with private structures, as well as international criminal groups constantly carried out computer attacks on information infrastructure facilities in Russia," the Security Council’s press service said after the commission’s meeting on Monday.
"Most of the particularly dangerous computer attacks were against public administration offices and communication, energy, science and education, industry, transportation and banking facilities," it added, TASS reported.
The information security situation remained tense throughout the year. However, as the participants of the commission pointed out, the measures taken by the authorities prevented disruptions in the operation of Russian information resources.
