The White House says President Joe Biden will address the recent ransomware attack on a meat producer and the increased threat of cyber attacks while meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin later this month in Geneva.
The administration is not "taking any options off the table" in response to the incidents, press secretary Jen Psaki said at a briefing Wednesday. On Tuesday, the White House disclosed that JBS, a meat processing company, was a victim of a ransomware attack that the Biden administration has said came from a criminal organization likely based in Russia. Following the attack, JBS closed nine of its US beef processing plants, but the company plans to restore operations on Wednesday and has told employees to return to work. Senior officials in the US and Russia have been in contact about the attack.President Joe Biden on Sunday delivers his first commencement address of the 2024 season at Morehouse College, where the president may for the first time in months have to confront the angst that’s been percolating on college campuses nationwide toward his administration’s policies on the Israel-Hamas war.
