[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure) The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=12) President Biden has been presented with options for massive cyberattacks against Russia.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=18) We all know, but still pay insufficient attention- There were reports overnight that, uh, Anonymous, uh, a group of hackers took down Russian, uh, TV.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=31) -to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyberattack.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=36) Some of the offensive cyber operations under consideration include everything from shutting down the internet- To a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=50) Attacking a lot of the, uh, government institutions and, uh, again, the oligarchs and their, uh, you know, their way of life through cyberattacks.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=60) It is important to use the COVID-19 crisis- And should Americans be bracing as we dial up the sanctions on Russia for them to break into our space in cyber, uh, warfare?

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=72) -as a timely opportunity to reflect- You have the leader of Russia and the leader of the United States of America saying, "Hey, yes, if they cyberattack, we are going to attack back strong."

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=85) -on the lessons the cybersecurity community can draw- If Russia unleashes its full cyber power against Ukraine, once you put malware into the wild, in a sense, uh, it knows no geographic boundaries.

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/HSZ3jsabMK9j/en/cyber-pandemic-warnings-russia-ukraine-and-critical-infrastructure?t=101) -and improve our unpreparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.
