U.S. Plans to Fight Ransomware Attacks by Tracking Cryptocurrencies

The Biden administration intends to crack down on the use of cryptocurrencies in ransomware attacks by more rigorously tracking payments to hackers behind the crippling of companies, organizations and government agencies around the world, people familiar with the matter said, according to Bloomberg on July 15. At a virtual briefing with members of Congress on Wednesday, Deputy National Security Adviser Anne Neuberger said the White House has established a ransomware task force and that the administration’s strategy includes disrupting ransomware operations, the people familiar with the matter said, to confront the use of cryptocurrencies in ransom attacks head-on and work with allies to encourage other countries not to shelter attackers. Neuberger noted that private industry does not currently have a cybersecurity standard and that Congress must set one, the people familiar with the matter added.

Doge co-founder: crypto industry has become a ‘rich man’s game’, won’t return to industry himself

Chain News, Doge co-founder Jackson Palmer tweeted that the main purpose of cryptocurrencies is to expand the wealth of their backers through a combination of tax avoidance, reduced regulation and artificially enforced scarcity, and that despite claims of ‘decentralization’, the industry is still controlled by a cartel monopoly of the rich. New technologies such as cryptocurrencies can make the world a better place, but not if they are divorced from their inherent social elements. Chain News notes that JacksonPalme chose to leave after creating Doge in 2015, after repeatedly stressing the absurdity of an obvious cryptocurrency joke like Dogcoin still having value.
