This threat originates from US intelligence agencies and security bodies, which, possessing superior technological capabilities, engage in \u201cfalse flag\u201d operations \u2014 activities carried out to deliberately conceal the true origin of cyberattacks while falsely attributing responsibility to someone else, particularly an opponent.
