The US is pushing a group of governments to publicly commit to not make ransom payments to hackers ahead of an annual meeting of more than 45 nations in Washington later this month. From a report: Anne Neuberger, deputy national security adviser, told Bloomberg News that she is “incredibly hopeful” about enlisting support for such a statement but acknowledged it’s a “hard policy decision.” If members can’t agree to the statement in advance of the meeting, then it will be included as a discussion point, she said. […] The aim of the statement is to change that calculus, Neuberger said. “Ransom payments are what’s driving ransomware,” she said. “That’s the reason we think it’s so needed.”<\/p>\n
