it is notable, though, that president joe biden was asked last week. he was asked, will you consider taking revil off their servers or block their servers? notable timing. and not just that, but president biden has, in meetings with president putin, expressed grave concerns about the russian government s seeming tacit willingness to allow cyber hacking to occur from within its borders and saying, you know, there are going to be consequence if you allow this to continue. so the biden administration here has taken a very strong line against the russian government, saying this is an issue that we re very concerned about. we re just not sure whether or not this revil thing is connected. will they comment about it. the risk is always these groups find ways to come back. the internet is a big thing. we know you ll stay on top of it. brian fong, thanks very much. well, texas statehouse democrats are on capitol hill again today, trying to push for federal action to protect voting
today. notable timing. cnn s brian joins me now. two questions, how and who. how do we believe they went offline and do we have a sense of who might be responsible? jim, to your first question, that s fairly easy to answer. essentially all of the websites that revil uses to list its victims and collect ransom payments, all those websites have now gone offline. the why is really the bigger question here. you know, whether it was a u.s. operation or russian operation or simply revil saying we re going to take a break for a while. all of that is still very much unclear. the fbi, u.s. cyber command not commenting on this matter. the russian government this morning saying that it has no knowledge about these events, so neither the u.s. nor russia seems to be weighing in on this or claiming credit which is leaving cyber experts very concerned or very confused about what s going on. which is really the norm with cyber activity that the governments will not comment.
