The Biden administration took a very weak stance against the cybercriminals responsible for the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline. And to add insult to injury, after Colonial Pipeline reportedly paid millions of dollars to free up its systems from the cybercriminals, the Biden administration Justice Department announced plans to launch a task force aimed at cracking down on hackers responsible for ransomware attacks! That means the American taxpayers will be footing the bill for yet another Biden administration’s “all talk and no backbone” policy.
Just hours after Colonial Pipeline paid hackers a ransom in untraceable cryptocurrency, Biden had no comment when asked a question regarding whether or not he was briefed on the matter. How convenient, a clueless Biden actually made this statement after sitting back and doing absolutely nothing about the cyberattack; telling the press “it’s a private sector problem.”
Within Biden’s first 100 days in office, one of his many brainless executive orders involved the shutting down of the Keystone XL pipeline to appease the socialist climate activists who helped him to get elected. And now, here we are with his administration taking a lax approach to a cyber attack on 45% of the nation’s pipeline distribution. I guess we can just call that a coincidence right?
Are progressive policies pushing the United States toward a European-style economic slump? The radical left is working overtime to transform the American dream into a socialist experiment, and the mainstream media is refusing to tell you the full story.
