said Joyce, pointing out they were often &#8220;just to disrupt&#8221; operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSA official called some Russian hackers &#8220;creative<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are watching Russian hackers connect to web cameras to observe convoys and trains delivering aid,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Instead of using [cameras] from a public place that are available on the internet, they\u2019re looking at the coffee shop security camera and seeing the road they need to see&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian hackers are also focusing their operations on US defence industries and logistics companies to learn more about arms shipments to Ukraine, Joyce continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;They are under daily pressure from the Russians,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, the US news outlet CCN obtained a report that claimed&nbsp;European military, energy, and transportation organisations were targetted by Russian hackers in an apparent spying campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It went undetected for months as the war in Ukraine raged, despite the heightened defensive posture of Western governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative&#8217;
