Cyber war has to do not only with technical issues, but with who and why permitted to do actions like this. When we investigate this, we usually come to a conclusion that people behind it were not ordinary criminals. It was very well equipped crime led y very competent persons.

[Klepov] We do not know it. But what we know is that they were very professional. A cyber war cannot be considered accomplished until a thorough analysis is made on how such a system could be created that could be so easily destroyed. When we started the job to protect financial operations of the Central Bank, we saw a system that had so many gaps that it could hardly exist. And what about thecurrent system? Can we be sure it was created without envisaging theft? Any system should be modernized and improved constantly. And at present time, the Central Bank spares no effort on it. As for general issues of protection of Russian information resources, as before the most attention is paid to protection of strategic information networks, while attacks of cyber terrorism cover the most updated and first of all mass communication networks. It is in constant search for gaps in protection shield.
