Biden gave Putin a list of 16 entities that are off limits to his ransomware hacks. That gave Putin the green light to ransomware the rest of American companies/entities. What a moron.
As if “cut it out” is gonna work with Putin.

Apparently you don’t understand the term “free market capitalism”. American corporations are free to protect themselves.
The government cannot protect internet users from every cyber threat out there. Utilities are part of the national security infrastructure and as such, must be protected by government.
One of the hospitals in Toronto was recently attacked by ransomware but they were able to spot the attack and immediately shut down all of their computers and locked the hackers out. They rebooted slowly department by department so the hackers couldn’t find another way in.
