Co-founder of the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance, cybersecurity specialist, Oleksandr Galushchenko told dev.ua exactly how American cyber units helped Ukrainians in active actions against the Russians.
«They highlighted the vulnerable points and (from what I know) helped us gain a foothold in two large structures. Then they smoothly left, seeing how we work. I can’t go into more detail, no way,» the official said.
According to Galushchenko, their level was higher in theory, and the Ukrainian side is more knowledgeable in practice. And these are completely different things.
As a reminder, the head of the US Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, according to The New York Times, has ordered the cessation of offensive cyber operations against Russia, which likely indicates attempts by the Trump team to establish a dialogue with the Kremlin.
According to the publication’s interlocutors, such an order allegedly came before the meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the White House, which ended in a scandal.
The publication notes that, in general, maintaining access to Russian networks for the purpose of obtaining information is important for the United States — in particular, for understanding Putin’s intentions in the context of negotiations.
Also yesterday, Ukrainian white hat hacker Mykyta Knysh questioned the existence of offensive US cyber operations against Russia.
«They never existed at all, neither hidden nor open,» Knysh emphasized in a comment for dev.ua. According to him, the cyber command was created for slightly different purposes.
