Russia warned western powers on Thursday that cyber attacks launched against it could result in direct military confrontation, and would be met with severe countermeasures.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes after Russia’s housing ministry website was hacked over the weekend, and an internet search for the ministry\u2019s site displayed a Ukrainian text translating to “Glory to Ukraine.\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement that critical infrastructure and state institutions were being heavily impacted by cyberattacks and blamed the United States and Ukraine for these attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The militarization of the information space by the West, and attempts to turn it into an arena of interstate confrontation, have greatly increased the threat of a direct military clash with unpredictable consequences,” it said.<\/span><\/p>\n
