The issue of whether the U.S. government is doing enough to tackle international cybercriminals moved to center stage this week after the high-profile attack on a major East Coast energy supplier. Even though Colonial Pipeline has restarted operations, there are still lingering questions about the group that executed the attack and how to prevent future assaults on critical infrastructure. In a news conference yesterday, Biden emphasized the U.S. government's belief that the cybercriminals behind the pipeline company attack are based in Russia – which has become a safe harbor for such groups – but do not work directly for the Russian government.

How would they know that either way? They couldn't until they caught and interrogated the perpetrators. They haven't done that and don't seem in any great hurry to do so. This assurance is meaningless.

As how could Biden know at this point who actually perpetrated that cyber attack? Now if the Russian Government were to sweep in and police up all the hackers and transport them to a Gulag in Arctic Siberia for 50 years, both Biden and the Russians would be making a lot better case.

I have my doubts about Russia and/or Russians having anything to do with it

This type of thing is an operation of anti-phah and anonymus, and probably whatever flavor of the week is trending in tech - all hard left "environmental" woke types. And if it was leftists, and could be proven, would the msm report it? I doubt it.

Assigning the blame? Look no further than to those who have hostility to pipelines. Xiden shut down the XL pipeline. And now Michigan governor Whit-Less is demanding shutdown of a pipeline or she will seize their profits.

Biden, not longer after settling into his stolen office, called Vladimir Putin a cold-blooded killer. That's the brand of diplomacy the USA needs, according the TV.

Our intel people are only good at fragging presidents with phoney dossiers, protecting lefty criminals and arresting/torturing patriots. They dont have time to look into foreign threats.

Everything is a lone wolf act, according to the government. That is so they don't have to do anything. If it came from Russia, it was the Democrat's conspiracy partners, and the Russian's trained, supplied the equipment, and pay the salaries of those that did it. Does anyone really think the Russian secret police could not deal with this. They could, but they won't. Putin believes the sanctions has cost the Russians a lot of money, and no doubt feels he is just getting some of his money back. That is, if it was the Russians. The Democrats, notorious liars, that never present any evidence, not beyond false witnesses, have not presented any evidence. With a decrepid cretin in the WH, it is no wonder Colonial decided it was best to pay the ransom.

Depends on what the meaning of "involved" is.

Well, if it wasn't Russia, it was one of the Triad of Biden's buddies: China, Iran or Ukraine.

Of course not. It was a covert operation to check the results for when they're all shut off - Like Keystone!
