SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 30, 2023 | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The White House is working to finalize as soon as Tuesday a new policy outlining how governments should respond to ransomware attacks , including sharing information on attackers and the accounts they use to collect ransoms, a senior administration official with knowledge of the matter said.
The White House has long advised against paying ransoms and has been pushing other countries to make the same commitment. “We're committing to sharing bad wallets - wallets that are used to move illicit ransom funds - as well as a number of other related projects,” the official said. The criminals behind these hacks often used data from victims in one country to wage attacks on organizations in another country, which makes alliance across countries essential in fighting them, the official said.
