Cloudflare, a major web infrastructure firm that keeps websites online by protecting them from distributed denial-of-service attacks, said Monday that it will continue to provide some services within Russia despite several calls to pull out, stating that “Russia needs more Internet access, not less.” The statement is just the latest example of internet infrastructure firms having to explain how they are approaching business in Russia as that country’s government continues its brutal assault on Ukraine, and the government of Ukraine seeks to isolate Russia from the internet by publicly calling out major tech and web firms with business interests there. In a statement, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said the company has seen a “dramatic increase in requests from Russian networks to worldwide media, reflecting a desire by ordinary Russian citizens to see world news beyond that provided within Russia.” The statement detailed the various steps the company has taken to […]

A host of federal government policy failures contributed to the rippling damage of the SolarWinds hack, leaders of cyber firms told a Senate panel on Tuesday, with even lawmakers saying Congress must do more to prevent a repeat. More than two months after the hack became public, the wide-ranging Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing committee demonstrated that the U.S. government, the private sector and digital incident responders still are wrestling with the ramifications of an suspected Russian espionage campaign that leveraged the federal contractor SolarWinds. A number of big questions remain: SolarWinds still hasn’t determined how the hackers originally got into its systems, nobody has fully settled debates on whether the incident amount to espionage, or something worse, and suspicions abound that more victims remain unrevealed. “It has become clear that there is much more to learn about this incident, its causes, its scope and scale, and where we […]
