In the past few weeks, some of the biggest industries in the U.S. have been held up by cyberattacks.
The first big infiltration was at Colonial Pipeline, a major conduit of gas, jet fuel and diesel to the East Coast. Then, J.B.S., one of the world’s largest beef suppliers, was hit.
The so-called ransomware attacks have long been a worry. But who are the hackers and how can they be stopped?

Background reading:
The Biden administration has taken steps to counter the growing threat of cyberattacks (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/04/us/politics/ransomware-cyberattacks-sept-11-fbi.html) on U.S. businesses. The F.B.I. director compares the danger of ransomware to the 9/11 terror threat.
As the ransomware industry exploded, a Russian-speaking outfit called DarkSide offered would-be computer criminals not just the tools, but also customer support. Here’s how the group became a hacking powerhouse (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/29/world/europe/ransomware-russia-darkside.html).
It’s been almost a decade since Leon Panetta, then the secretary of defense, warned of an impending “Cyber Pearl Harbor.” He didn’t want to be right (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/05/business/leon-panetta-cyber-attacks.html).
