President Joe Biden said the US will take any action to defend its people and infrastructure against ransomware attacks.

The White House said in a statement that Biden “underscored the need for Russia to take action to disrupt ransomware groups operating in Russia and emphasized that he is committed to continued engagement on the broader threat posed by ransomware.” Biden stressed the U.S. “will take any necessary action to defend its people and its critical infrastructure in the face of this continuing challenge,” according to the statement. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that REvil “operates in Russia and other countries around the world.” But she said “we don’t have additional or new information suggesting the Russian government directed these attacks.” Cyber officials from the U.S. and Russia are due to hold talks next week, she said at a briefing.
