President Joe Biden said Thursday that Vladimir Putin was not connected to a Russia-based criminal cyber attack on a huge US fuel pipeline but that he will raise the issue at an expected summit.

U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Wednesday urged global cooperation to combat cyberattacks by “hostile state actors” and criminal gangs.Raab also pledged 22 million pounds ($31 million) in support to “vulnerable” countries in Africa and the Indo-Pacific to improve their digital defense capacity.

An outside audit three years ago of the major East Coast pipeline company hit by a cyberattack found “atrocious” information management practices and “a patchwork of poorly connected and secured systems,” its author told The Associated Press.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order Wednesday meant to strengthen U.S. cybersecurity defenses in response to a series of headline-grabbing hacking incidents that highlight how vulnerable the country’s public and private sectors are to high-tech spies and criminals operating from half a world away.

Following the ransomware attack that impacted the pipeline operated by Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline, security firms are providing detailed information on the cybercriminal gang behind the attack.
