President Joe Biden on Friday vowed there would be consequences for Russia after another round of ransomware attacks but he didn't detail what those might be.
Biden, however, said he felt optimistic about his conversation with Vladimir Putin that took place earlier in the day.
He called his Russian counterpart to demand Putin 'take action' about the ransomware attacks on the United States, warning him that he will take 'any necessary action' to defend the U.S.
'It went well. I'm optimistic,' Biden told reporters at the White House about the call.
The president said he made it 'very clear' that when a ransomware attack originates on Russian soil 'we expect them to act' even if the attack wasn't directed by the Russian government.
