欧盟呼吁发展进攻性网络能力以应对中俄威胁

<p><strong>The bloc’s tech chief has openly endorsed developing new strike capabilities as part of its expanding emphasis on defense</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The EU should develop offensive cyber capabilities to enhance its defenses against perceived threats, the bloc&rsquo;s tech chief, Henna Virkkunen, has told Politico.&nbsp;</p>
<p>NATO&rsquo;s European members have long cited allegedly looming Russian aggression to justify their massive military buildup, including pledges to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Moscow has dismissed such claims as <em>&ldquo;nonsense&rdquo;</em> and baseless fearmongering. The EU has also raised concerns over alleged cybersecurity risks posed by China.</p>
<p>Speaking to Politico on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Virkkunen signaled that the bloc is considering proactive measures in cyberspace. <em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not enough that we are just defending ...We also have to have offensive capacity,&rdquo;</em> she said.</p>
<p>Virkkunen also noted that the EU is seeking to reduce dependence on foreign technology and build a homegrown tech and cyber industry. <em>&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to have risky dependencies in any critical fields,&rdquo;</em> she said.</p>
<p>The commission&rsquo;s cybersecurity proposal, unveiled last month, aims to phase out high-risk technology from supply chains. EU officials have repeatedly warned that Chinese suppliers may pose security risks and could be used to collect sensitive data, claims Beijing has dismissed as <em>&ldquo;naked protectionism.&rdquo;</em>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The push comes as several EU states, including Germany and Latvia, have warmed to the idea of conducting offensive cyber operations. In November, Politico reported citing official sources that NATO&rsquo;s European members were considering such actions against Russia. In late 2024, the US-led military bloc unveiled plans to establish a new integrated cyber defense center at its headquarters in Belgium, expected to become operational by 2028.</p>
<p>NATO members have accused Russia of hacking government servers, jamming GPS signals of airplanes, and flying drones in their airspace. Moscow has dismissed the allegations as warmongering, and described the West&rsquo;s sanctions and aid to Ukraine as <em>&ldquo;hybrid aggression.&rdquo;</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moscow has warned that <em>&ldquo;rabid militarization&rdquo;</em> risks a broader conflict on the continent. Last week, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia has <em>&ldquo;no reason&rdquo;</em> to attack the EU or NATO unless attacked first.</p>

<p>Cyberattacks against Russia jumped 46% last year, according to RED Security. High-profile incidents included the hacking of the database of Russia&rsquo;s largest airline, Aeroflot, in July, for which two pro-Ukraine groups claimed responsibility.</p>
