Leaders from nearly 40 countries on Tuesday vowed to work together to track down those responsible for ransomware attacks, prevent ransomware criminals from being granted safe-havens, and implement a series of strong measures to counter such attacks.
Government leaders from a total of 36 countries, and the EU, met in Washington on Oct. 31–Nov. 1 for the Counter Ransomware Initiative (CRI), where they discussed “concrete, cooperative actions” aimed at preventing the global threat of ransomware attacks around the globe, according to a White House fact sheet.
