Britain joined the U.S. in blaming a Russian intelligence agency for the distributed denial-of-service attacks that unfolded.
The White House blamed Russia on Friday for this week's cyberattacks targeting Ukraine's defense ministry and major banks and warned of the potential for more significant disruptions in the days ahead.
The attacks, which knocked government websites and a couple of major banks offline for much of the day, were of"limited impact" since Ukrainian officials were able to quickly get their systems back up and running, Neuberger said. She said the U.S. was publicly blaming the Kremlin because of a need to"call out the behavior quickly."
Neuberger said there was no intelligence indicating that the U.S. would be targeted by a cyberattack, but that remained a concern, given that the banking system does not have the"cyber resilience" that it should.
