Washington expects Moscow to make efforts to counter ransomware viruses, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said.
The United States expects Russia to act to combat cybercriminals using ransomware viruses. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said this in an interview with the American KDKA TV channel.
Blinken noted the increased level of threat both within the United States and around the world. In his opinion, taking into account these conditions, it is necessary to improve protection and inform people about this problem so that they take security measures on their own.
“If in any country, be it Russia or another state, such groups operate, then it is the responsibility of the local authorities to fight them,” the US Secretary of State is convinced.
If the authorities “are unwilling or unable to do this,” then “as President Biden made it clear, including to President Putin,” the United States “will do it themselves,” the head of the State Department said.
