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. The call came on the heels of the latest major cyberattack against a U.S. company. REvil, a ransomware group believed to be in Russia, hit Florida-based IT software company Kaseya last week. Researchers have suggested that the hack affected between 1,500 to 2000 of the firm’s clients as well as likely thousands of more customers of those clients. The Kremlin says it has not received any official requests from U.S. […]

The White House responded to Russia-based ransomware group REvil’s most recent attack against a U.S. company with a promise to take on cybercriminals if the Kremlin will not. “As the president made clear to President Putin when they met, if the Russian government cannot or will not take action against criminal actors in Russia we will take action or reserve the right,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday when asked about a major data breach at Florida-based IT software firm Kaseya. 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. […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said that accusations that the Russian state is in anyway linked to a recent ransomware attack against global meat supplier JBS are “nonsense.” The FBI has blamed the attack on REvil, a group thought to be based out of Russia. U.S. officials have not tied the attack to the Russian government. That breach came after an unrelated incident against Colonial Pipeline, a major U.S. fuel supplier, in which the FBI blamed another alleged Russia-based gang, DarkSide. “I have heard about some meat processing company, it’s nonsense, we understand it’s just laughable. A pipeline? It’s nonsense, too,” Putin told a Russian news station. U.S. President Joe Biden emphasized in May that U.S. intelligence officials do not believe the Russian government was involved in the Colonial Pipeline hack. “We do not believe — emphasis on we do not believe — the Russian government was involved in […]
