GLOBAL anti-ransomware summit: WH leaves Russia & China off guest list
Two of the largest nations in the world have been snubbed for Joe Biden’s two-day ransomware summit, as 30 countries join efforts to crackdown on worldwide hack attacks.
“We see this meeting as the first of many conversations,” with allies, a senior WH official said on a call with reporters ahead of Wednesday’s virtual get-together.
When pressed the official said: “We do look to the Russian govt to address ransomware criminal activity coming from actors within Russia,” adding the WH has had “frank and professional exchanges in which we’ve communicated those expectations.”
Fancy (bear) that, China and Russia must be REVIL-ing in it!
