President Joe Biden pushed Russian President Vladimir Putin to disrupt ransomware groups operating within Russian borders in a phone call Friday, according to a White House statement. “I made it very clear to him that the United States expects [that] when a ransomware operation is coming from his soil even though it’s not sponsored by the state, we expect [Russia] to act if we give them enough information to act on who that is,” Biden told reporters after the call.

Psaki noted that the U.S. intelligence community has not attributed the attack on Kaseya to the REvil group. However the recent hack — in which hundreds of businesses were affected, according to the company — adds to escalating tensions with Russia over its apparent willingness to tolerate ransomware gangs. Psaki said that the White House will meet with high-level Russian officials to discuss ransomware attacks next week. […]
