When it comes to the internet, countries are constantly attacking each other, and cybercriminals are in every single nation. That’s according to Eugene Kaspersky, the Russian founder and CEO of IT security company Kaspersky Lab.
Speaking to Moscow daily Kommersant on Tuesday, Kaspersky explained that not everything should be blamed on ‘Russian hackers’, but they are some of the most skillful cybercriminals.
“In fact, everyone is attacking everyone,” he said. “The main victims, of course, are developed countries because there is more to steal. But there are cybercriminals everywhere – some places have more, some have less.”
In particular, Kaspersky noted that there are very few American hackers because of the competence of the FBI. However, other countries, such as China and Russia, have a very developed cybercrime industry.

But when it comes to state players, the U.S. government with its intelligence agencies, coupled with help from big tech, are the best hackers and cyber warfare specialists around.
Russia has the better coders, while the US has the better hardware. Because of the hardware limitation, they are required to perfect their code, while because the US has such powerful computers they can run subpar codes.
