US President Joe Biden stated the lack of evidence of Russia’s involvement in a hacker attack on the COLONIAL PIPELININE pipeline operator. His words lead RIA Novosti.
“So far there is no data from our intelligence workers, so that Russia participates in this,” the American leader noted. Biden also stated that the United States would fight with extortionable viruses and intend to coordinate the efforts of the global community in this matter.
The head of the White House concluded that there are transnational criminal elements behind the cyberatics, and not a specific state. The attackers, according to the president, often use global networks for money laundering, and has happened to Colonial Pipeline – a criminal act.
On May 8, Colonial Pipeline company, which is the largest in the US operator of fuel pipelines, reported that it was attacked by a virus-extortionist. CNN argued that the kiberat was worth a grouping of Russian hackers and their Darkside community. The TV channel stressed that due to the kiberataka, the work of the pipeline providing fuel 45 percent of the US Eastern Coast population was suspended.
