The warning letter, dated Jan. 23, was sent to law enforcement agencies across the country.

“We assess that Russia would consider initiating a cyber attack against the Homeland if it perceived a U.S. or NATO response to a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine threatened its long-term national security,” the letter said.

DHS said Russia is continuing to target U.S. infrastructures with a “range of offensive cyber tools.” U.S. officials have pinned some of the country’s biggest cyberattacks in the past two years on Russia-based cyber criminals, including the Colonial Pipeline attack, SolarWinds attack and attack on meat supplier JBS.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
