could be on its way russia says don't look at me as missing today's warnings from london and washington as. the hacking accusations against russia came in a rare joint statement the british and u.s. cyber agency said russia could be laying the foundation for future offensive cyber attacks they've warned that hackers backed by the russian government were targeting government and private computer networks the hackers aim to compromise key hardware like routers and fire walls that would give them virtual control of data flows allowing them to steal critical data and plant the ability to carry out cyber warfare. the attacks weren't limited to the two countries australia also accused kremlin backed hackers of targeting hundreds of companies. the the points which.

the government and should reinforce. the announcements comment a time of growing concern about russia's cyber activities last year the us ordered civilian government agencies to remove casper's key antivirus software from their networks amid concerns the company was sharing data with the kremlin casper's keep in mind the accusations and in february germany said russian hackers had breached key government networks the ongoing cyber assault raises new questions about russia's intentions a country the agency is described as their most capable hostile adversary in cyber space. spent have is from still know of the unfortunate german think take for the cross section of technology and society thank you very much for joining us tell us what this warning is all about what's the background to this do you think the u.s. and u.k.

authorities figured out that allegedly the russians were penetrating a number of which are so basically devices where the internet traffic flow through and had access to it for a long time and there's evidence of this they have evidence of this oh they claim they have evidence they claim that there are a highly confidential highly confident that there are tradition goes back to russia but we haven't seen it though that evidence of you know what is the likelihood of this going back to russia well it's it's actually highly likely i mean we've seen russian aggressions i was a number of times now only a few of it has been really pinpoint it was hard evidence to the russians but considering the space and considering what's going on also in the jew political sphere it's likely sure but to me it doesn't sound like anything new i mean it's something that's been going on for a long time according to officials the kind of attack is not new we've seen in the snowden revelations that the u.s. was doing quite a similar thing for years now the russians have to do the same thing that has been going on me for a year or so so it's not substantially new but what could be new is this warning of

a global cyber attack what what proof is that or what inklings do you have that they could be something of that size on its way servers well sometimes we're talking about this huge scale threat when there's a huge bought a lot of devices have been used or penetrated in this case but we haven't seen a world wide scale of cyber attack taking down everything but you know if you want to emphasize on the threat level you can always play that. doesn't it take a lot of resources and a lot of money to loan something like that and what's what's the return that you get on it what would the russians get out of something like that well it actually takes some resources but not as much as you would think because the devices that have been attacked had vulnerabilities that were known they used. the name something that's really weak security what you call it. the russians were able to read traffic that goes through the routers and they were able to money plaited if

proper encryption wasn't used but as we've seen with the snowden revelations the doctrine right for this kind of them for web browsing and messages like what has been increased so they weren't able to get as much as they hope for maybe so basically could you call this a warning to companies and states to do more to get ready to bolster their defenses and make sure what they're offering us is services is safe sure but it's not first warning and we're feeling like in germany was the i.t. security regulation that at some point you're running out of warnings and you just have to make government mandated regulations because the companies just don't want to listen what do you think needs to be done concretely i think in addition to the huge regulation that we have here in germany which only targets critical infrastructure that we have to go far beyond that and have to be working want to second i do security regulation and have is thank you very much for coming in today . the news just in a white house adviser says washington is considering additional sanctions against russia the u.s.

had only just announced new ones that are already hitting some companies hod as well as affecting others that what even target. the u.s. sanctions announced on april sixth affect fourteen russian businesses and seven oligarchs among them oleg thierry pascoe who's been accused of interfering in the twenty sixteen u.s. election his company rules sol is the world's second largest producer of aluminum within a week of the announcement its stock fell by forty percent. but in that's not a one off market capitalization for many companies has falling even those not affected by the sanctions because. nerves are jittery moscow's stock market is under pressure american corporations have to sell all their shares in russian companies by may seventh any business caught helping another bypass the sanctions is in danger of being sanctioned itself. if. investors are feeling

unsettled and that instability is poison no one knows how things will progress with russia. the sanctions have also hit russia's urns industry the u.s. has blacklisted rosso border an export which has a monopoly on the country's weapons exports tens of thousands of jobs depend on the sector and russian prime minister dmitry medvedev is promising to help affected companies but that will have a negative impact on state coffers russia is already contemplating countermeasures for example a halt on titanium exports to the us that would hit boeing especially hard russian supplies cover a third of the plane makers needs when it comes to the essential metal and delivery of russian engines for america's and tyreese rocket system could also be put on hold the last few major common projects the countries are involved in could soon grind to a halt experts are sounding the alarm. as is so often the case

with russia kremlin politics are damaging our own economy more than foreign powers counter sanctions will just deepen our crisis and make worse what's already bad no one is delivering key technologies anymore but we need them desperately and can't just replace them we don't have the specialists or good training facilities we're missing international cooperation. russia's lower house the duma had planned to pass counter sanctions this week but then unexpectedly backpedaled a decision has now been slated for the middle of may. reports of a breakthrough in pay talks between germany's public sector unions and employers any agreement would still need approval by the trade union very it was calling for a six percent pay rise for two point three million workers in line with robust economic growth here the government to municipalities objected the demand for pressure on employers very cold for now. ation wide strikes earlier in the month how wising airports and public facilities in many states.
