In 2018, intelligence operations focused primarily on Russia, but now also include Iran and China.
U.S. Cyber Command has expanded its overseas operations to target foreign hacker groups in order to identify and prevent possible cyberattacks from other governments.
“Since 2018, we've expanded our hunt for all major opponents. We want to find the bad guys in enemy cyberspace, in their own operating environment. We want to kill the archer, not dodge the arrows, ”Deputy Chief Cyber Command Charles L. Moore Jr. told The New York Times.
In the past, Cyber Command operations have focused primarily on Russia. But ahead of this year's elections, intelligence officials spoke about efforts not only by Russia, but also by Iran and China to potentially influence the elections.
Recall that in January of this year, the Cyber Command was not ready for large amounts of data obtained as a result of hacking the information infrastructure of the terrorist organization DAISH (which is prohibited in the Russian Federation). Although the operation to hack into accounts and servers of ISIS was successful, Cyber Command did not have enough space to store the recovered material.
