The problem extends beyond Russia and, to be clear, it’s not as simple as Moscow directing hackers. But the Kremlin’s tolerance of cybercriminals—and sometimes even direct cooperation with them—is a real contributor to the booming criminal industry. https://t.co/NcB5FHqzJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

The hackers work from countries where they can avoid prosecution. They operate massive criminal empires and remain effectively immune to all attempts to rein them in. This is what Biden will bring up to Putin in the coming weeks. https://t.co/7CKg6togDY — PolitiTweet.org

Ransomware gangs now pay specialist hackers to go “big game hunting” and seek out massive targets that can pay out huge ransoms. The hackers sell the access to the gangs, who then carry out the extortion. https://t.co/W033lNvpCN — PolitiTweet.org

Today, ransomware operations are much more sophisticated than they were when the industry was taking off half a decade ago--and the payouts are much higher. 🤑 https://t.co/nPTuCqWPwc — PolitiTweet.org
