WASHINGTON, June 3 — The White House warned corporate executives and business leaders today to step up security measures to protect against ransomware attacks after intrusions disrupted operations at a meatpacking company and a southeastern oil pipeline.
The recent cyberattacks have forced companies to see ransomware as a threat to core business operations and not just data theft, as ransomware attacks have shifted from stealing to disrupting operations, she said. The letter came after a major meatpacker resumed US operations on Wednesday following a ransomware attack that disrupted meat production in North America and Australia.
Biden believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has a role to play in preventing these attacks and planned to bring up the issue during their summit this month, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
