  • Summary

  • For years, Russian cybercrime groups like Evil Corp had made millions by unleashing ransomware attacks against US companies. None had ever unleashed a ransomware attack on a major piece of US lifeline infrastructure though. But that changed in May of 2021, when hackers attacked one of America’s largest gasoline pipelines, causing it to shut down. Thousands of gas stations on the East Coast ran dry; ransomware became a household term; and President Biden met with Vladimir Putin in Geneva to put an end to the ransomware epidemic. But Russian cybercriminals were not the only cyberthreat to US critical infrastructure, nor were they the most dangerous.
