The Times said it was not yet known if the Synnex attack was related to the massive ransomware attack carried out by the Russian cybercriminal organization REvil over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Sources told Bloomberg that Russian intelligence services are taking advantage of the chaos caused by the ransomware attacks to probe valuable targets.<\/p>\n<p>Around 1,500 companies worldwide were hit in the ransomware attack, though President Joe Biden said Tuesday the impact on U.S. companies appeared to be minimal. The cyberattacks pose a major challenge for Biden, who has warned Russia that the U.S. will take action if the Russian government is found to behind the hacks.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Mike Murphy\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mike_Murphy\"><\/span>Mike Murphy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
