Putin: Cybersecurity Cooperation between Russia and US should be Regular and Professional

According to the We For News, Russian President Vladimir Putin told US President Joe Biden that cybersecurity cooperation between Russia and the United States should be regular and professional. Yet, Washington stays silent when it comes to individual cases, he added.

The Kremlin said in a statement that the Russian leader said in a phone call with the United States president Joe Biden on Friday Cyberattacks are indeed a major challenge that both Russia and the US face together .

The scale of this challenge requires cooperation between the two nations to be “regular, professional and non-politicized,” Putin added, pointing to the “special data-sharing channels” between the relevant Russian and American authorities.

We For News reported, citing President Putin as noting Russia is ready to tackle the criminal activities in cyberspace together with the United States, adding that it is the US that has not contacted the relevant Russian agencies on any such cases over the past months.

Russian President’s words came in response to US President Biden’s demand on Russia to “act” every time a ransomware attack is launched from its territory. “When a ransomware operation is coming from his soil… we expect them to act if we give them enough information,” Biden told journalists after the phone call with President Putin.
