A refutation has emerged of a media report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a halt to offensive cyber operations against Russia.
The message from the official, whose name was not disclosed, states that Pete Hegseth did not cancel or postpone any cyber operations directed against malicious Russian targets, and there was no order regarding this priority, writes Bloomberg.
The decision of the US Secretary of Defense was previously reported by the cybersecurity publication The Record, as well as The Washington Post and The New York Times.
Following news of Pete Hegseth’s decision, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Trump administration was providing «free access as Russia continues to launch cyber operations and ransomware attacks against critical American infrastructure.»
When asked about previous reports of a halt to operations, the Pentagon declined to comment but said there was no higher priority for Hegseth than the safety of American troops.
