Psaki: US wants Russia to act responsibly amid pipeline hacking

WASHINGTON, May 12 (PRIME) -- The U.S. government has called on Moscow to act responsibly after a cyberattack on its largest pipeline operator Colonial Pipeline, which, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was committed from the Russian territory, the U.S. president’s press secretary Jen Psaki said late on Tuesday at a regulator briefing.

“Well, the president also said that his intelligence community has not made a full assessment yet, which remains the case,” Psaki said.

“But also that, given that this entity that the FBI had concluded – or, you know, given – attributed, I should say, with the attack, was located in Russia, that that country has a responsibility to – to act responsibly.

“But again, we’ll wait for our intelligence community to make a full assessment before we have more to convey about it.”
