Russian cyberwarfare capabilities unleashed during the invasion of Ukraine have been seen as a part of information warfare.
Multiple agencies, including the GRU, SVR and FSB maintain units capable of engaging in information operations.
Cyber operations have included distributed denial-of-service attacks and a hack that caused a blackout in 2015.
Multiple Russian cyberwarfare units have been indicted by the Department of Justice.
Beyond conventional weapons such as airplanes, bombs and firearms, Russian cyber-warfare units are utilized to wreak havoc against geopolitical foes.
While purportedly rogue hackers may draw much of the attention, Russian military strategists have long viewed cyberwarfare as part of information warfare. Cyberattacks were used prior to the invasion of the Ukraine that began in the early-morning hours of Thursday, DefenseNews.com reported. Russian web sites also were down in the initial stages of the invasion of Ukraine.
