Biden and Putin were on call: “I made it clear to him that the United States wants ransomware operations to come from his territory. Even if it is not sponsored by the state, we hope that they will take action if we provide them with sufficient information. That person took action…” pic.twitter.com/2KdDlNaSOe

“I made it clear to him that the United States wants the ransomware operation to come from his territory, even if it is not sponsored by the state, but we want them to take action if we provide them with enough information to determine who it is,” Biden said.
The following is a summary of the content of the call with Putin.

What Biden said should be fine. The first or second time it happened. Not because of where we are now, after the fourth or fifth time in the recent series of attacks. At this point, we should have seen the actions taken, but we are still only seeing the warning.This is after Biden has issued a major warning It is said to be given to Putin in Geneva Putin should not hit the 16 targets. After that major warning, we encountered the largest global attack to date. Biden shouldn’t ask them well at this time.
There is another obvious problem during the call. Biden stated that he thinks he will get Russia’s cooperation with the request to take action on the ransomware attack. According to Fox. But then in the Kremlin meeting readouts, they stated that they “have not received a request from the United States regarding cyber security.”
So which is it? Did Biden tell them to continue? Why did they just act like he didn’t? In either case, if they say there is no requirement, it sounds like they are basically bragging about him. This is not a good response.
According to Fox, a senior government official tried to refute and explain this, saying that “a number of actions have been conveyed through Russian channels.” So has Biden warned him and told him whether to destroy the ransomware organization?
