On Friday, Biden held a phone call with Putin and demanded the Russian President disrupt cyber criminals operating in his country.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated Biden emphasized U.S. demands for Putin to immediately take action against Russian-based ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile REvil we know operates in Russia and other countries around the world and we don\u2019t have additional or new information suggesting the Russian government directed these attacks,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe also know and we also believe they have a responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden talks a tough game on Russia only to sit back as they hurl cyber-attacks at us.<\/p>\n<p>Putin is eating our lunch.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAndyBiggsAZ\/status\/1412477298897522693?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 6, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden reportedly told Putin the U.S. would take any necessary action to defend Americans and America\u2019s critical infrastructure. This came after Russian-linked hacker group REvil demanded $70 million worth of cryptocurrency to end the biggest ransomware attack on record just last week. In total, the attack affected thousands of companies across 17 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout uptick in hacking activity, the White House and Kremlin have been battling over who was to blame for not adequately responding to the attacks. Russian officials claim no agency in the Biden administration has reached out to the Kremlin in the past month to cooperate on stopping the activity.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since Friday, the federal government has been working to assess the Kaseya ransomware incident and assist in the response. We urge anyone who believes their systems have been compromised to immediately report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sVIbk4ldBZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/sVIbk4ldBZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 National Security Council (@WHNSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WHNSC\/status\/1411814050724515840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the Biden administration refuted this claim by saying administrations since the nineties have actively asked Russia to reign in on cyber attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States expects when a ransomware operation is coming from his soil, even though it\u2019s not sponsored by the state, we expect him to act,\u201d Biden expressed. \u201cWe\u2019ve given him enough information to act on who that is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden went on to say he was optimistic&nbsp; the call went well and added both nations could move forward to stop future ransomware attacks. Biden stresses he remains committed to establishing regular communication with Putin by hoping to bolster a bilateral relationship with Russia.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fmr-cbp-deputy-commissioner-on-border-crisis-a-crisis-unlike-anything-ive-ever-seen\/\">Fmr.
