The Russian Federation continues to implement cyber attacks and remains one of the main threats for the US government.

This was stated by the head of the National Intelligence of the United States, Daniel Coates, reports Bloomberg.

"Russia is a full-fledged player in cyberspace, which remains one of the main threats to the US government, diplomatic, military, commercial and critical infrastructure ...", said Coates.

According to him, "Moscow has a highly developed offensive cyber-program, and in recent years has taken a more aggressive stance in cyberspace".

Also, the head of US intelligence said that Russia used cyber attacks to influence public opinion in Europe.

In addition, he added that according to the estimates of the American National Intelligence Service, Russian cyber attacks will continue to "target the US and its allies".

Coates also expressed confidence that Russia will continue to exert pressure on Ukraine through military channels, including actions in the Donbass, where it supplies arms for the separatists.

Let's remind, on May, 5th hackers have cracked mail of the headquarters of Macron, as a result of which there was a large-scale leak of data.

A similar situation occurred with the correspondence of the US Democratic Party before the election of the President of the country.

As reported by the "Observer", the cyberattack on the campaign headquarters of French President Macron and former US presidential candidate Clinton was made by the same Russian hackers, who are associated with the Main Intelligence Agency (GRU) of Russia.
