White House set to lead 30 nations in ransomware discussions, sans Russia

Posted on by

The White House on Wednesday and Thursday will convene meetings with representatives from more than 30 countries to discuss how to counter ransomware, leaving out the country the president most frequently criticizes for hosting gangs of hackers: Russia. “Participants will cover everything from efforts to improve national resilience, to experiences addressing the misuse of virtual currency to launder ransom payments, our respective efforts to disrupt and prosecute ransomware criminals and diplomacy as a tool to counter ransomware,” a senior administration official told reporters on Tuesday. The official didn’t specify why Russia didn’t get an invitation beyond unnamed “constraints.” The lack of an invitation this time “doesn’t preclude future opportunities for them to participate.” The U.S. also has other avenues for discussing ransomware with the Kremlin, the official said. The lack of an invitation for Russia exemplifies the tensions over when the U.S. might involve more adversarial nations in discussions over […]

Cyberattack knocks Italian vaccine registration portal offline

Posted on by

A cyberattack over the weekend shut down the COVID-19 vaccination registration system for an Italian region that includes the city of Rome, officials there said. Nicola Zingaretti, president of the Lazio region, said in a Facebook post on Monday that the area suffered a “cyber attack of criminal origin,” according to a Google translation. “We do not know who the perpetrators are and their purposes,” he wrote. CNN reported that Lazio received a ransom claim and was hit by a “crypto locker,” according to an unnamed source. Authorities say the incident is the most grave on an Italian government agency ever. The attack won’t interfere with anyone who already has booked a vaccine appointment, but new appointments are temporarily suspended, Zingaretti said. Health and financial data seems safe, he said. “The attack blocked almost all files in the data center,” he wrote. “At the moment the system is shut down […]
