Cyberwarfare between Russia and Ukraine began well before the first bullets were fired, a cybersecurity expert and former senior CIA official told Fox News.
He also warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin could launch cyberattacks against America’s supply chain in response to economic sanctions.
"Amidst all the attention on the massive conventional war that's taking place in Ukraine, a cyberwar started before the conventional attack," said Paul Kolbe, the Intelligence Project director at Harvard’s Belfer Center. "It would be still taking place now."
The Russians view the sanctions "as a form of what they term ‘economic warfare,'" Kolbe told Fox News. "They certainly are in a position to launch cyberattacks on targets you might expect and targets you might not expect."
"I'd be particularly wary of attacks on targets that might affect supply chain vulnerabilities," he continued.
