WASHINGTON, 08 July 2021 (TON): US President Biden told reporters that he had a message for his Russian counterpart Putin about cybersecurity, but refused to disclose its contents.
“I’ll give it to him,” Biden answered when reporters asked about the message.
He held a meeting with his staff on new cyberattacks on US targets. Local media claim that over the weekend at least 20 American IT companies were attacked by hackers allegedly operating from the territory of Russia and using a ransomware virus.
Following the meeting, journalists asked Biden about Washington’s possible response to the ongoing attacks and whether he had a message for Russian President Vladimir Putin following a meeting with representatives of his own administration and experts.
When later at a briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked to clarify what the essence of this message was and what form it would take, she suggested that the president was simply “not going to discuss with you. What was discussed at the last meeting.”
