"The concern, the official said, is that halting offensive cyber operations against Russia could leave the U.S. more vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially given Russias skilled hackers capable of targeting U.S. critical infrastructure and stealing sensitive information.
The suspension comes from U.S. Cyber Command, the militarys unit responsible for both offensive and defensive cyber missions, CNN reports. This change in approach comes as the Trump administration looks to improve relations with Russia, even while Moscows ongoing war in Ukraine continues."
