The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an intelligence bulletin revealing that Russia may attempt a cyberattack on the US homeland if the Kremlin discerns a NATO or US response to interfere in their invading the sovereign nation of Ukraine as a threat to Russia’s “long-term national security.”
This does NOT appear to be based on any actual threat. If they care so much, they’ll close the borders.
A January 23 memo that was distributed by DHS to critical infrastructure operators, along with state and local governments said, “Russia maintains a range of offensive cyber tools that it could employ against U.S. networks — from low-level denials-of-service to destructive attacks targeting critical infrastructure.”
The memo states that DHS analysts estimate that Moscow’s ability to conduct cyberattacks, either destructive or disruptive, on the US homeland “probably remains very high.”
“We have not observed Moscow directly employ these types of cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure — notwithstanding cyberespionage and potential prepositioning operations in the past.”
The federal government has been preparing for cyberattacks from Russia since they threatened to invade Ukraine by sending over 100,000 troops to the Ukrainian border.
Is this just more Russia paranoia? They haven’t observed Moscow employing these types of attacks but they’re warning us anyway? Why? It’s propaganda. The real threat is the CCP.
Wouldn’t this be a good time to close our borders if we haven’t already let our enemies in? Russians have been caught at the border and released into the United States. We are so busy worrying about Ukraine’s border but not our own.
This isn’t normal. We have a serious national security issue on our border and if Russia wants to walk in and attack, they can, as can China, Iran, Taliban, and so on.

If Hillary could escape the Bosnian tarmac and get the reset button to Vlad SatanHitler then all will end well? (sarc)
Sinbad could make them laugh and distract the SPEZNAZ while the pretty pink high heels troops kick up a chorus line. (not really)
This is merely more propaganda from a very corrupt, incompetent and anti-US federal government. Perhaps it is another false flag setup. What would we do with this warning? I won’t get scared, I am scared of the government.
Show us Russia’s threat to invade Ukraine. Why report that, and push out conventional knowledge, like the freebeacon and others do?
The enemy within could care less about ‘your’ border…or the distribution of illegals across the country ( No border = No country )…it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. The covid Psych Ops and Biden feigning ‘senility’ is sorely in need of another major distraction to keep the proles in the ‘murk’…
