The general leading the fight against cyberattacks on America has announced a “surge” to defend against a wave of malicious operations.
In an interview on Tuesday with the Associated Press, General Paul Nakasone said government specialists would be stepping up efforts to gather information about cyberattacks and “impose costs when necessary”.
He told the AP that authorities planned to publicly expose adversarial countries who carry out high-profile attacks on the US and uncover the means by which they were carried out.

..."Even six months ago, we probably would have said, ‘Ransomware, that’s criminal activity,’” Mr Nakasone said. “But if it has an impact on a nation, like we’ve seen, then it becomes a national security issue. If it’s a national security issue, then certainly we’re going to surge toward it.”
In July, President Joe Biden pushed Russian President Vladimir Putin to crack down on cyber attackers, telling reporters, “We expect them to act if we give them enough information to act on who that is.”
