The controversy between the United States and Russia remains quite strong, albeit indirectly. And it is that the competent authorities in the United States of America began an investigation about the possible manipulation of the elections of the North American country by Russian hackers, which ended up causing sanctions yesterday emanating directly from the President, Barak Obama. Today fuel is falling back on the fire, and they have found Russian malware on a computer belonging to a United States electricity company, causing reactions of all kinds. Let's get to know a little more in detail what the malware found consists of and why it could put the United States in check.
According to the authorities, the malware found is directly linked to the group of hackers that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have cataloged as the cause of the manipulation of the elections. They have been dubbed as Grizzly Steppe, and they are making powerful Americans very nervous.
It was the Burlington Electrical Department who reported the presence of this malware none other than on his Facebook page. Fear does not stop growing every time some type of information of this type appears, especially when it is linked to something as relevant as an electricity company, vital for the proper functioning of society today.
According to the authorities in the area, the system is not in danger, the infected pieces of software have been located and they have taken action accordingly. Meanwhile, the FBI and the other relevant departments continue their fierce fight against "cyber espionage", and oddly enough, Russia is a long way ahead of the United States in this, who would have imagined? It seems that the Russian president does not want to comment on this.
