WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said it’s a “critical moment” to improve domestic cybersecurity after new evidence shows Russia is considering options for cyberattacks against the United States.
While Biden said he had previously warned about “the potential that Russia could conduct malicious cyber activity against the United States,” he reiterated these warnings on March 21 “based on evolving intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks.”
“My administration will continue to use every tool to deter, disrupt, and if necessary, respond to cyberattacks against critical infrastructure,” Biden said. “But the Federal Government can’t defend against this threat alone.”
