Joe Biden addressed the issue on Tuesday after a cyber attack targeted U.S. IT software company Kaseya over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>More than a thousand businesses were affected worldwide in the attack carried out by Russian-linked hackers. Biden did not comment on whether the attack will warrant retaliation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Updates Regarding VSA Security Incident<br \/>July 7, 2021 \u2013 12:00 PM EDT<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iqFlNJ67jt\">https:\/\/t.co\/iqFlNJ67jt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaseya Corp (@KaseyaCorp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KaseyaCorp\/status\/1412816094663000065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI received an update from our national security team this morning.
