Like most countries, the government of Russia conducts cyber espionage as well as continuing to engage in all the traditional parts of spying. Like all countries that do it, they try not to get caught.
Laws concerning non-government persons engaging in espionage for their own reasons are fairly weak and seldom enforced in Russia as long as the espionage is not against the Russian government. That has made it particularly difficult for victims outside Russia to pursue any actions against criminals and black-hat hackers in general if they are based in Russia.
Someone who does espionage using the Internet and computers.
Cyber espionage refers to the covert practice of using digital means to obtain confidential or sensitive information from individuals, organizations, or governments without their consent. It often involves hacking into computer systems, networks, or databases to steal data, intellectual property, or state secrets. Cyber espionage is typically conducted by state-sponsored actors or organized groups and can have significant political, economic, and security implications. The rise of technology has made it an increasingly prevalent tactic in international relations and corporate competition.
Russia developed its own nuclear program, and was aided by espionage.

Well it wouldnt mean much difference since cyber war is a part of Cold War and War too .

Its mostly a espionage game whose Primary objective is to steal data or cause damage but maintain anonymity at all cost
Most likely cyber criminals from Easter Europe: Russia or Ukraine.
As of late 2023, one of the latest problems associated with espionage is the increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning by both state and non-state actors to enhance surveillance and data collection capabilities. This has raised concerns about privacy violations, as well as the potential for misinformation and cyber espionage. Additionally, geopolitical tensions have intensified, leading to heightened scrutiny and counter-espionage measures among nations. The proliferation of technology has made traditional espionage methods less effective, prompting a shift towards more sophisticated and covert tactics.

Determining which country has the "best" hackers can be subjective and varies based on criteria such as skill level, resources, and objectives. However, countries like the United States, Russia, China, and North Korea are often highlighted for their advanced hacking capabilities, with state-sponsored groups engaging in cyber espionage and cyber warfare. Additionally, nations with strong tech industries, like Israel, also produce highly skilled hackers. Ultimately, the effectiveness of hackers can depend on their goals and the context of their activities.
Cybercrime is the global term for all types of unauthorised hacking, often involving some fraudulent financial gain (theft), software piracy or wilful damage to a network. Cyberwarfare is a more specific type of cybercrime, typically a politically-motivated attack against a particular network for the purpose of sabotage and/or espionage. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is the simplest but least effective form of cyber-warfare.
