I think the Russian prosecution should be asked: Are our prosecutors and the investigative bodies that ate on the forefront of the fight against terrorism well protected from cyber terrorists? Are they ready for a cyber war or not, like the Central Bank wasn’t in its time? State Duma members do go abroad and use their cell phones there. Contents of their talks and their voices can be easily faked and forged statements can be released on their behalf. Won’t it hurt Russia’s prestige?
Is the presidential team ready for it? Well, he does not use ordinary means of communication. But what about his personal doctor? And reporters, who accompany him? Isn’t a cyber terrorist able to compromise some of them, forging someone’s voice or somehow else? We know from mass media about permanent scandals involving unsanctioned tapping of cell phones in some Western countries. For example, in Greece and Italy even the country’s leadership was tapped. Do we have guarantees that cyber terrorists will not choose for their attacks officials of the Russian foreign ministry who work abroad? Recently the number of Russian citizens detained abroad after tapping their phones increased and the trend is alarming.
