The US warned that it would respond to hacker attacks, and it happened, US President Joe Biden said. His statement was published on the White House website.
Earlier, the United States imposed sanctions against Russian Yevgeny Polyanin and Ukrainian citizen Yaroslav Vasinsky. They are accused of large-scale cyber attacks on the websites of government agencies and private companies.
“When I had a meeting with President Putin in June, I made it clear that the US would take steps to ensure that cybercriminals were held accountable for their actions. And today we did just that,” Biden said.
He added that the US is working with allies and partners around the world to disrupt ransomware networks. “While we still have a lot to do, we have already taken important steps to protect our infrastructure from cyberattacks, to hold accountable those who threaten our security,” the US President said.
