Biden says he gave Putin list 16 sectors that should be off-limits to hacking
But the Rest of the Country is Fair Game
JUN 16, 2021 | CYBERSCOOP
President Joe Biden said he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure sectors, from energy to water, that should not be the subject of malicious cyber activity during a meeting between the two men in Geneva on Wednesday.
The two heads of state also agreed to task cybersecurity experts from each government “to work on specific understandings about what’s off-limits and to follow up on specific [cyber incidents] that originate in either of our countries,” Biden said at press conference after a roughly four-hour meeting with Putin.
“I talked about the proposition that certain critical infrastructure should be off-limits to attack, period, by cyber or any other means,” Biden said. A White House official said Biden was referring to 16 critical infrastructure sectors designated by the U.S. government. In addition to energy and water, that list includes election systems, health care and the financial sector.
The bilateral meeting came weeks after two disruptive ransomware attacks on Colonial Pipeline, which supplies some 45% of fuel consumed on the East Coast, and meat processor JBS, which accounts for an estimated one-fifth of U.S. beef production. The FBI has blamed separate Russian-speaking cybercriminal groups for the hacks.
Biden on Wednesday reiterated that he believed the Russian government had a responsibility to curb the activity. He said he asked Putin how he would feel if ransomware disrupted a pipeline servicing Russian oil fields.
“A principle is one thing; it has to be backed up by practice,” Biden said. “Responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory.”
