US Chamber Seeks International Ransomware Coalition

The U.S. government should establish an international coalition to combat ransomware attacks, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President-Cyber Christopher Roberti said Friday. The chamber urged the administration and Congress to update “a national signaling strategy to communicate through diplomatic and other channels that ransomware attacks” are a priority. The chamber asked policymakers to disrupt ransomware payment systems, enhance international law enforcement resources and create a cyber response and recovery fund for cyber victims.
