PHOENIX — ABC15 has confirmed the Arizona Cyber Command Center is operating at its highest level of alert. Officials are anticipating a Russian cyberattack now that the United States and European allies followed through with economic sanctions in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Roemer says critical infrastructure like water treatment facilities, the Palo Verde Nuclear Power plant and financial institutions could be targeted."It could hit you at any hour of the day. Any industry, any company," Roemer said."We're completely reliant on technology now, the U.S. and the world. The state of Arizona is no different."
"There's virtually nothing in our society that's a substant element of our infrastructure that doesn't have some cyber vulnerabilities," he said."We certainly don't want to see a massive tit for tat cyber engagement where each of these large well-resourced countries with exceptional cyber capabilities begin to attack each other.
