President-elect Joe Biden lashed out at Donald Trump over a major hack of U.S. government agencies and companies, saying the president isn’t taking it seriously enough, while vowing to strengthen the nation’s cyberdefenses.
Biden blamed the Trump administration for having “failed to prioritize cybersecurity” during its four years in power. He also called on the president to clearly and publicly identify the culprit -- saying it’s widely believed to be Russia -- and take steps “to hold them to account.”
