White House cyber official says action taken so far not enough to deter further Russia cyberattacks
The White House's top official on the response to the massive SolarWinds hack says the sweeping measures announced by the Biden administration against Russia are unlikely on their own to prevent Moscow's malicious cyber activity against the US and did not dispute that the hackers responsible for the massive breach are still lurking on American networks.
Expelling Russian hackers from US government networks and getting them to re-consider their malign behavior is going to take time, more comprehensive dialogue and fundamental changes to American cybersecurity, deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger told CNN in an interview.
A week after the Biden Administration called out Russia's foreign intelligence service for the first time for carrying out the most serious breach ever of US government networks, Neuberger didn't deny that Russian hackers are active inside those networks and made clear she hasn't yet seen a significant change in Russia's malicious behavior in cyberspace.
"We'll know when we see a change with regards to [Russia's] broad use of cyber to achieve national objectives and that's something that will take time," Neuberger said.
