The Biden administration official has continued to accuse Russia of cyber crime over alleged recent hackings of U.S. companies.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m4b0_wgIhj8\">interview<\/a>, Blinken claimed Russia may be harboring cyber criminals. He said the new cyber crime task force will hold Russia and other countries to account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what we\u2019ve made clear to Russia, but to other countries around the world, is if you\u2019re harboring individuals and organizations engaged in cyber crime, engaged in ransomware, that is unacceptable,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Biden recently met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and stirred concerns of lawmakers back home when he told Putin which American targets he didn\u2019t want attacked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI talked about the proposition that certain critical infrastructures should be off limits to attack, period, by cyber or any other means,\u201d Biden stated. \u201cI gave them a list, if I\u2019m not mistaken\u202616 specific entities, 16 defined as critical infrastructure under U.S. policy. From the energy sector to our water systems.\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>Putin has denied any involvement in any of the hacks on U.S. systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to U.S. sources, the majority of cyber attacks in the world are performed from U.S. cyberspace,\u2019 noted the Russian president. \u201cThe second one is Canada, then two Latin American states and then the U.K. Russia is not listed among the cyberspaces where the majority of cyber attacks come from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even in his interview, Blinken appeared to concede that the hackers that have been linked to recent attacks may be operating within Russia\u2019s borders, but not agents of the government itself.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/doj-declines-nursing-home-investigation-in-4-states\/\">DOJ Declines Nursing Home Investigation In 4 States<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken listens as he and Iraq\u2019s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein face reporters as they meet at the State Department in Washington, Friday, July 23, 2021.
