A coalition of government agencies and security firms has released a framework for how to disrupt ransomware attacks. It calls for expanded regulation of the global cryptocurrency market to better track the virtual coins paid to cybercriminals during extortion schemes. The group also encourages the White House to take the lead on addressing ransomware by creating a group that includes representatives of the National Security Council and security companies. The framework also recommends that the U.S. and other nations create a response and recovery fund to support the responses to ransomware.”]
