Sberbank, Russia’s national savings bank, has not found any potential US cyber-weapons in its systems after screening, the bank told Bloomberg and East-West Digital News today.
However, Stanislav Kuznetsov, deputy chief executive in charge of cybersecurity, characterized such a threat as “theoretically possible” in Russian infrastructure.
Kuznetsov’s comments come as an answer to recent reports according to which the US authorities secretly deployed tools in Russian systems that could be triggered remotely in retaliation for alleged meddling in US vote.
