The UK is pinning the blame on Russia for the "PETYA" cyberattack that crippled firms, including FedEx and Merck. Stu Woo, Reporter at The Wall Street Journal, joined us to break down the implications of the claim.
This is the first time a major Western government has accused Russia for being responsible for the cyberattack. When the attack first happened, Ukraine bore the brunt of the attack and pointed the finger at Russia. Woo said there a couple of options for a U.S. response. He said economic sanctions and a retaliatory cyberattack are in the cards.
Woo said it is extraordinary for Trump Administration to come out and accuse Russia of cyberattacks in light of the possibility that Russia interference may have aided Trump's 2016 election victory. Russia has denied meddling in the U.S. and U.K. elections.
