‘No evidence that Russia is involved’ in US fuel pipeline hacking, says Biden Maroosha Muzaffar © Provided by The Independent
US President Joe Biden on Monday said that there was no evidence so far that Russia was involved in the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation had blamed the weekend shutdown of the pipeline on a group called the DarkSide. The shutdown had affected gas supply in parts of the East Coast with reports of people waiting for hours at filling stations.
President Biden said on Monday: “I’m going to be meeting with President Putin, and so far there is no evidence based on, from our intelligence people, that Russia is involved, although there’s evidence that the actors’ ransomware is in Russia.” He added that: “They have some responsibility to deal with this.”
In the biggest cyberattack to date on critical infrastructure in the U.S., Colonial Pipeline – sprawling 5,500 miles from Houston to New York City – halted its mainlines on Friday, May 7, when administrators detected advanced ransomware internally.
On Thursday, a day before the ransomware attack, Russia-based cyber criminal group DarkSide stole more than 100GB of data, giving DarkSide added leverage to extract a ransom from Colonial Pipeline, which some speculated could end up paying a ransom to avoid a prolonged and potentially catastrophic shutdown. On Monday, May 10, Colonial announced that it had set a “goal of substantially restoring operational service by the end of the week,” which means the Eastern U.S. will likely face days of uncertainty over its energy supply.
US Pulls Back Curtain on Russian Cyber Operations Twitter Get Permission
While the Biden administration is betting that the latest round of sanctions against Russia will help deter the country s cyber operations, several U.S. agencies, including the National Security Agency, used the sanctions announcement as an opportunity to pull back the curtain on the tactics of Russia s Foreign Intelligence Service.
Russia s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday denied that the country was involved in the SolarWinds supply chain attack as well as election disinformation campaigns, as the U.S. alleged in announcing the sanctions. And on Friday, Russia responded to the sanctions by expelling 10 U.S. diplomats and blacklisting eight officials, according to The Washington Post.
