BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Cyberattacks carried out by the West against Russia's information systems have seen an uptick of 65% since last year, with the West seeking more ways to pressure Moscow in light of a complex geopolitical environment, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said Friday.

"Now the West is making great efforts, the concentration of all cyber capabilities to attack out information systems and information products," Chenyshenko said at a meeting with young scientists in Ufa, Russia.

"Obviously, attacks on us will continue. We are now seeing a 65% increase in the number of cyberattacks compared to last year," the deputy prime minister added.

Cyberattacks against Russia have seen their uptick in the wake of the Ukraine war, with Western countries seeking to further undermine Russia's infrastructure and the latter underlining that such actions would be met with targeted and calculated countermeasures.

It is noteworthy that before the war broke out, US President Joe Biden had said in the summer of 2021 that cyberattacks on the US would lead to a "real shooting war" with a major power.

A few months afterward, he excluded Russia from a cybersecurity conference to address cybercrime and ransomware, in which 30 countries participated.

Despite the exclusion of Russia, the United States hailed a "discernible decrease" of cyberattacks emanating from Russia.

Furthermore, just a month before the Ukraine war broke out and before the massive cyber offensives started taking place against Russia, the Biden administration unveiled a new federal cybersecurity strategy based on a "zero trust" standard to protect government systems from hostile hacks.

According to Washington, the strategy at hand would focus on advancing security measures that dramatically reduce the risk of successful cyber attacks against the federal government's digital infrastructure.

It would also enable agencies to detect, isolate, and respond to cybersecurity threats more rapidly.

The strategy, the White House said, would also detail a series of specific security goals for agencies, serving as a comprehensive roadmap for shifting the Federal Government to a new cybersecurity paradigm that would help protect the US.
