White House Launches New Initiative to Combat Cybercrime and Fraud

The White House has announced a new program, directed by an executive order, that will partner federal law enforcement with the private sector to target transnational criminal organizations responsible for ransomware attacks, phishing campaigns, and other cybercrimes. The initiative aims to disrupt these organizations and enhance the nation's ability to counter cyber threats, following U.S. consumers reporting over $20.8 billion in cyber-related losses last year.
