Trump Administration Denies Ignoring Russian Cyber Threats Amid Ukraine War Negotiations
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Trump administration officials are rejecting claims that they are ignoring Russian cyber threats, labeling such reports as “fake” while attempting to mediate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, despite rumors of U.S. government policies that seem to underestimate these risks.
According to a report by the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was alleged to have stopped viewing Russia as a cyber threat, a claim CISA firmly denied. The Guardian cited a “recent memo” that prioritized other threats over Russia, notably mentioning China, which fueled these allegations.
“CISA’s mission is to defend against all cyber threats to U.S. critical infrastructure, including from Russia. There has been no change in our posture,” the agency stated on X, dismissing the report as “fake and undermines our national security.”

Meanwhile, Tricia McLaughlin, the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, refuted the Guardian’s report on X, stating, “The Guardian’s entire story is based on an alleged memo that the Trump Administration never issued, and the Guardian refuses to let us see or tell us the date of said memo.”

Nevertheless, over the weekend, it was revealed that the U.S. Defense Secretary ordered the suspension of offensive cyber operations against Russia as the Trump Administration seeks to end the war in Ukraine.
The updated guidelines impact activities conducted by U.S. Cyber Command, a Department of Defense unit dedicated to cyberspace operations and hacking; however, they do not extend to the espionage activities carried out by the National Security Agency.
Despite recent media reports, when asked to confirm them, a senior defense official told The Record—the outlet that first reported the suspension of offensive cyber operations—that they do not “discuss cyber intelligence, plans, or operations.”
