3rd year in a row, before the meeting of Vladimir Putin and Donald trump Western media come up with headlines about the threat of hackers. But if you previously wrote that the Russian cybercriminals threaten U.S. blackout, this year the situation is the opposite: correspondents say the Americans hacked into the power grid of Russia. About How cyber threats have become an element of big politics, says Last news .

two years earlier the week before the meeting of Putin and trump at the conference of G-20 in Hamburg, Agency Bloomberg has informed that "Russian Hackers" plan to attack U.S. nuclear power plants. Correspondents referred to the Sources in the White house, As if to establish the involvement of the capital of Russia to attempt to gain oversight of nuclear power plant Wolf Creek in Kansas. The publication highlighted that cyber attacks on critical infrastructure - And That power plants, nuclear power plants, hospitals, schools, transportation - directly threaten the security of the state. Evidence of belonging Russia to the imaginary cyberwoman Neither Sources Nor reporters are Not given, But agitated state authorities to a harsh response.

in the past year tested the scheme repeated: before the Russian-American summit in Helsinki magazine the wall Street Journal warned Of a possible blackout. Informants again made Sources in the presidential administration. They said that the criminals broke into computer Networks of thermal and hydroelectric power and have the ability to cut off electricity in the whole country. Again, evidence is Not provided, But was immediately appointed the culprits " behind the attacks are Russian ". Moreover, from the publication indicated that all of the user Hackers get directly from the Kremlin. The leitmotif in the media sounded the question: why is Trump to talk with Putin, if Russia behaves?

This year the scheme was modified at the beginning of the G-20 summit in Osaka, where they can be held bilateral meeting of presidents of Russia and the United States, the printed edition of the new York times said that the Americans had broken into computer systems of the Russian power plants. The newspaper's sources - again, the Employees of the administration - called the organizers of the operation: This is Not a solitary Hackers And cyber command US military power. Besides power plants, cyberwoman were other features of Russian critical infrastructure. The sources explained that the attack did Not aim to arrange in RF blackout.

"Hacking into vulnerable networks of Russia is intended to alert the Kremlin to prevent possible interference in the upcoming 2020 presidential elections ", - reported in the publication NYT.

But the sensation was caused Not so much information published, how the ignorance of the President trump. The sources commented that the malicious computer networks in Russia - a part of the new strategy of the American military command And the President have deliberately Not introduced in the course of the case. The military feared he might accidentally blab about It to the foreign delegations.

as long as the American public was surprised that trump doesn't know what operations are behind him carried out by the Military, followed by the reaction of the President. He regarded This As a betrayal.

"the new York times is losing popularity and in the race it informs that North America stepped up cyber attacks against Russia. It is an act of virtual treason, and It's not true! The corrupt media ready for anything! They are cowards and enemies of the people!" - Trump on Twitter is Not constrained emotions.

Will this scandal in preparation for the meeting, trump and Putin and Not lose it all at the last moment, as long as it is not clear. The experience of previous years shows that the provocative publication the desired effect is Not produced.

Hackers around the world are still trying to hack the information system of hydroelectric power stations, nuclear power plants, schools, hospitals, airports. One of such attacks in Ukraine in 2015 ended with a blackout. The BlackEnergy hackers group has launched a computer Network energy organization "Prykarpattyaoblenergo" Trojan virus program, which for several weeks disabled 30 distribution substations. As a result without light remained almost 300 thousand people. Recovery took more than a month.

"Looking at our computers, we beheld that the mouse cursors themselves are randomly moving AT different substations. They were off the line transformers ", - told the Workers of " Prykarpattyaoblenergo ".

the proceedings have Not identified the perpetrators. Not able to the country, where he conducted a hacker attack. Soon BlackEnergy again reminded Of themselves. With the help of such viruses and special programs, As Industroyer or Crash Override, They blocked the Internet in public institutions, telephone and Internet connections throughout Ukraine. The large-scale shutdown of computers in the critical infrastructure it is finished in 2017.

in 2010, computer systems controlling the Iranian enterprise FOR uranium enrichment in Nathan, was struck by the Stuxnet virus. In the end of the five thousand centrifuges broke down about a thousand. The Iranian nuclear program back a few years.

How long the worm was in chains, until now, unclear. But the fact that He collected data about nuclear facilities and sent them on a certain Internet addresses, the Iranians installed almost immediately. Determined the source of infection - One Not checked for viruses USB flash drive.

After preliminary investigation, the authorities charged with acts of sabotage of the U.S. and Israel. It was also noted that technical assistance had hacked the German Firm Siemens, the supplier of the information the SCADA system, Through which was launched Stuxnet. Neither the United States nor Israel pleaded Not aware of.

After a few years in the middle East appeared viruses DUQU and Flame. As with Stuxnet, they launched into industrial facilities for gathering service information. These worms took screenshots of the computer screens, recording audio covertly passing data to command-and-control server. The consequences were Not so devastating As Stuxnet from, due to the fact that the Expert time found These viruses and neutralized them.

Cyber-attacks and were subjected to the hospital. In January 2016, the Hackers broke into the information Network Royal canadian hospital in Melbourne. The work of all medical institutions were paralyzed for a long time. It was later found that the virus infected Through outdated software installed on medical equipment, most likely for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for ECG and ultrasound.

Less than a month, in Hollywood Presbyterian medical center virus ransomware locked all information systems companies, asking for access to them 3, 6 million dollars.

in may 2016, the group Anonymous has paralysed the work of 33 Turkish hospitals and stole the personal data of patients.

ACCORDING to specialists, many hacker attacks is due to the fact that the main critical infrastructure do Not observe basic safety rules. In addition, most of these plants are transferred to a digital control system.

Experts suggest that can be damaged and systems that are Not connected to the Internet: it is enough to get a virus the build server or updating the software. Another problem is the availability of the Internet on the practice of all hacking tools. But in the last few years there are new tool - geopolitics. But then techies are powerless.
