At the last conference, G7 leaders called on Russia to arrest ransomware groups operating within its borders.

G7 leaders, meeting in Britain, called on Russia to crack down on ransomware groups believed to be operating within its borders after a series of attacks targeting international organizations and critical sectors in other countries. They also pledged to work together to tackle the growing threat of ransomware as a global challenge.
Recall that in early May, the DarkSide group carried out a ransomware attack on the American company Colonial Pipeline and essentially forced President Biden to declare the east coast of America a state of emergency and ultimately pay a ransom of $5 million.
The White House reiterated the United States' commitment to fighting ransomware groups, along with other G7 member states, in a statement released over the weekend.
