A White House spokesperson said on July 6 that while the U.S. intelligence community hasn’t yet determined whether Russia is behind the recent ransomware attack targeting Kaseya, the Biden administration believes Russian authorities “have a responsibility” to crack down on cybercriminals and, if Moscow doesn’t, Washington will “take action.”
“As the president made clear to President Putin when they met, if the Russian government cannot or will not take action against criminal actors residing in Russia, we will take action or reserve the right to take action on our own,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a briefing.
