Cyberattacks become destabilization tools

Experts believe that hackers acting on behalf of Russia are responsible for the attacks, which aim to destabilize populations and influence public opinion. The attacks are part of a broader trend of cyber warfare, with four countries - China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran - responsible for most detected cyberattacks. The attacks often target critical infrastructure, such as transportation systems and water treatment plants, to cause maximum disruption and chaos. The goal of these attacks is to create a sense of fear and uncertainty among the population, making it easier to manipulate public opinion and influence decision-making.
