Between the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack, and now the JBS meat production cyberattack, Russia seems to be coming up as the common denominator.
Rep. Michael McCaul stated on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “absolutely” using these cyberattacks to test President Joe Biden.
He noted that it is a "very naive perspective of how Russia operates and who Putin really is” to say that the Russian president is unaware of the cyber attacks and does not benefit from them, and Biden must be "very forceful with him.”
"This will be the third ransomware attack in the last couple of weeks," he said, demanding that "consequences" must come.
"I think the president should be very clear to Putin if these [attacks] continue, once we do the attributes, which means finding out the source of the attack, that we will hit back and we will respond with a cyber offensive attack," McCaul asserted. "That, we are very capable of doing as a nation. Only until we have that threat to Putin and the Russian criminal organization will this bad behavior stop. Otherwise, it will continue."
