USA: "Krig i Europa nästa vecka" (2022-02-11) The proof is in the pudding!

Officials from the White House, US intelligence agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security met via video link on Friday to discuss responses to a potential wave of hacking, given the ongoing tensions between NATO and Russia, CNN has reported, citing its customary anonymous sources.

The meeting focused on how agencies can work with companies in critical sectors of the economy in order to tackle cyberattacks, the network said. Two sources allegedly told the channel that officials specifically talked about a possible increase in ransomware attack by “Russian-speaking criminal gangs.”

The European Central Bank (ECB), the EU body tasked with regulating the eurozone, has warned financial institutions that they may become targets of Russian-sponsored cyberattacks as tensions with Ukraine continue to mount.

Speaking at a news conference to present its annual review, the chair of the ECB Supervisory Board, Andrea Enria, told banks to focus on beefing up their security.

Either there will be an invasion and we’ll realise US was right.

Or there won’t be but in 20/50 years we’ll find out the CIA had insane intel capability in Moscow and really averted a war.

Or it’s the most crazily irresponsible messaging imaginable.

Feels 33/33/33 to me
