The US government is becoming more concerned over the emerging challenge posed by Russia's growing cyberwarfare capabilities; Washington now considers Russia one of the most sophisticated nation-state actors in cyberspace.

Washington has expressed its deep concerns regarding Russia's growing cyberwarfare capabilities, qualifying the country as one of the most sophisticated nation-state actors in cyberspace, noted Franz-Stefan Gady, an expert in military affairs and cyber diplomacy.

"While I can't go into detail here, the Russian cyber threat is more severe than we had previously assessed," James Clapper, the Director of US National Intelligence, warned at the 2015 presentation of the "Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community," as quoted by the expert.
