Dmitry Rogozin, the current head of the Russian Roscosmos State Space Corporation, said that Russia will consider any cyberattacks targeting Russian satellite infrastructure an act of war.
“Because disabling the satellite group of any country is generally a casus belli, that is, a reason to go to war. And we will be looking for those who organized it,” Rogozin said on Rossiya 24 (VGTRK).
“We will send all necessary materials to the Federal Security Service, the Investigative Committee, and the Prosecutor General’s Office for relevant criminal cases to be opened.”
On Monday, Anonymous-linked Network Battalion 65 (NB65) claimed it hacked and shut down some Roscosmos servers.
Rogozin denied their claims saying the Russian space agency’s activity control centers operate normally and called NB65 “scammers and petty swindlers.”
