The Obama administration has announced sanctions against Russia as punishment for cyberattacks that interfered with the U.S. presidential election. The administration has declassified technical information on Russian intelligence services’ malicious cyber activities to help network defenders identify and disrupt Russia’s global campaign of mischievous cyber actions. In addition to the sanctions against the Russians, the Department of Homeland Security and FBI plan released a joint analysis report that includes information on computers the Russians have co-opted without the knowledge of their owners. The report also includes newly declassified data that should help enable cybersecurity firms and other network defenders to identify certain malware that the Russians use.”]
