JAKARTA - G7 leaders have announced that they will work together to strengthen their defenses to protect against foreign disinformation.

Leaders of the Group of Seven agreed on Tuesday to strengthen their countries' defenses against foreign disinformation and cyber attacks, including threats posed by Russia.

With the rapid increase in cyber attacks in the last few months since the start of the Ukraine-Russia war, the statements from the G7 leaders are very important and demonstrate the united front of leaders from the West and the East.

"We are also committed to further strengthening our internal security in light of transnational threats including those posed by Russia and other authoritarian regimes," said the G7 communique at the end of the summit in Germany, as quoted by Business World.

The G7 member countries' vigilance increased after seeing the fact that Russia, had used their cyber power during their invasion of Ukraine. Even before the attack, many Russian cyber agents had already attacked several western countries to smooth out their plans.

It is recognized that this cyber war will become one of the most important sectors in a real war, so that cyber defense is now absolutely considered important by the G7 countries.
