U.S. President Joe Biden said he confronted Russian President Vladimir Putin about human-rights violations at a summit on Wednesday, including imprisoned opposition leader Alexey Navalny, and warned him against further cyber-attacks on American infrastructure.

Biden said he gave Putin a list of 16 kinds of “critical infrastructure” that should be “off limits” for cyber-attacks, and warned Putin the U.S. would respond “in a cyber way” if they were targeted by hackers.
