The White House said Wednesday that President Biden has a \u201crange of options\u201d that he can choose from to respond to new Russian-linked cyberattacks, but the president hasn\u2019t yet decided whether to take action.<\/p>\n
White House press secretary\u00a0Jen Psaki\u00a0told reporters aboard Air Force One Wednesday that Biden had not decided on a course of action for responding to the ransomware attack on software company Kaseya and other potential attacks last week, there would be more to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of operational considerations, obviously it is not in our interest to preview those, or preview our punches as I like to say. The president has a range of options should he determine to take action,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Biden administration had yet to attribute the ransomware attack to any particular actor or country, though cybersecurity experts have linked it to the Russian-based \u201cREvil\u201d cyber criminal group. This is the same organization the FBI linked to the ransomware attack in May on JBS USA, the nation\u2019s largest beef provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
