Russia: Huge number of foreign cyber attacks - cyber security chief

Russian cyber space suffered from a huge number of external attacks, revealed the Deputy Director of the National Computer Incident Coordination Centre Nikolay Murashov in Moscow on Tuesday.
"In 2018, the system of detection prevention and mitigation of computer attacks spotted more than four billion computer impacts on Russian information resources, including more than 17 thousand highly dangerous computer attacks," Murashov detailed.
Commenting on accusations concerning meddling in the 2016 United States presidential elections, Murashov noted that the Russian side had sent a "comprehensive" reply to Washington before US President Donald Trump's inauguration.
He added that Moscow could make the data public, if the US side gave their consent.
