Russia Suspects Cyber Attack By US

Russia has said it is possible that its electrical grid is under
cyber-attack by the US.

Kremlin spokesman Mr. Dmitry Peskov said reports that US
cyber-soldiers had put computer viruses on its electrical grid was a
hypothetical possibility.

His comments came in response to a New York Times (NYT) story which
claimed US military hackers were targeting Russian power plants.

The report drew scepticism from experts and a denunciation by President Trump.

The Times said this was an escalation of other work the US was doing
to combat Russian disinformation and hacking campaigns.

Mr. Peskov said President Trump had dismissed the allegations made in
the Times, calling them fake news.
