遭美指控駭客攻擊全球最大肉廠 普廷不爽了

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕美國總統拜登上任後與俄國總統普廷針鋒相對，兩人將在月中於瑞士「王見王」，盼就雙方分歧與重大議題當面討論。如今美指控全球最大肉品加工商JBS駭客攻擊事件背後是俄國搞鬼，讓普廷相當不滿，直言此舉是在試圖打亂峰會。

《路透》報導，普廷當地時間週五在聖彼得堡經濟論壇向媒體抱怨，俄羅斯涉入JBS駭客攻擊的指控相當荒謬，「完全沒道理且可笑」。

普廷提到，還是有美方人士質疑指控的內容，並試著要釐清真相究竟為何，他對此感到欣慰，「感謝老天，還是有些人懂得自我檢視，並把問題丟給意圖在我們與拜登會面前激起新一波衝突的人。」

JBS日前傳出遭勒索病毒攻擊導致美、澳業務中斷後，肉品供應一度緊張，但已在昨日全數恢復營運。白宮則指出，這起勒索病毒攻擊可能由俄羅斯駭客組織所為。

President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that suggestions the Russian state was linked to high profile ransomware attacks in the United States were absurd and an attempt to stir trouble ahead of his summit this month with U.S. President Joe Biden.

A hack of Brazilian meatpacker JBS's facilities in the United States, reported this week, is the third such ransomware hack in the country since Biden took office in January.

JBS told the White House it originated from a criminal organisation likely based in Russia.

The White House said on Wednesday that Biden, who is due to hold talks with Putin in Geneva on June 16, was expected to discuss the hacking attacks with the Russian leader to see what Moscow could do to prevent such cyber assaults. read more

U.S. officials have spoken of criminal gangs based in eastern Europe or Russia as the probable culprits. But Kremlin critics have pointed the finger at the Russian state itself, saying it must have had knowledge of the attacks and possibly even be directing them.
