Open challenge？ The United States implanted malicious programs into the Russian power system. Russia： The possibility does exist.

　　CCTV News:The New York Times recently reported that American intelligence personnel are "stepping up efforts to implant malicious program code into Russian power system" in order to "spy on intelligence or launch cyber attacks on Russian power system". In this regard, Russian officials said on the 17th and 18th that the possibility that "the United States wants to launch a cyber war against Russia" does exist, and relevant Russian departments are constantly resisting such attacks.

　　Peskov, press secretary of Russian President, said on 17th that although the White House denied The New York Times’s report that "the US is trying to attack Russia’s power system by network", the possibility that "the US envisages launching a cyber war against Russia" does exist.

　　Peskov emphasized that Russia has repeatedly stated that Russia’s strategically important economic facilities "have been and are being attacked by overseas cyber attacks, and relevant Russian departments are constantly resisting such attacks to protect the economy and other sensitive areas from them" — — Russia has repeatedly suggested that international cooperation should be initiated to fight various forms of cybercrime with all parties, but the United States has never responded to this.

　　The Russian Ministry of Energy announced on the 17th that so far, they have not found that Russian power facilities have been attacked by overseas networks, and many Russian power companies are relying on domestic equipment and technology to eliminate the risk of overseas attacks step by step.

　　The Russian Ministry of Energy also said that most important power facilities in Russia have been connected to the national protection system, and Russian national information resources related to electricity are being protected by Russian professional institutions.

　　However, according to the Tass news agency, sergey Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency, said on the 18th that foreign intelligence agencies did try to invade Russia’s transportation, banking and power systems through the Internet, but Russia discovered these attempts in time and successfully foiled them.
