The U.S. government is on high alert for signs of Russian cyberattacks against banks and other financial institutions after Moscow launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on Thursday, eliciting harsh sanctions from the international community.
A homeland security source with knowledge of the matter told FOX Business on Thursday that the cyberthreat to the U.S. from Russia is still active and has not changed since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Threats to the national grid and major American banks are a real possibility, the person said. Both the Department of Justice and FBI are braced for a potential attack and are closely tracking any unusual cyber activity. The DOJ has an entire national security division devoted to this.
