up to $10 million for information on criminal activity over computer networks against important U.S. infrastructure.</span> <span data-start-time='15979' data-end-time='27167'>Cyber criminals often take advantage of openings in security to take control of computer systems. </span> <span data-start-time='27167' data-end-time='39542'>They then ask for large amounts of money often millions of dollars to give back control of the system to the owner. </span> <span data-start-time='39542' data-end-time='42521'>This is known as a ransom. </span> <span data-start-time='42521' data-end-time='56146'>The U.S. government believes these criminals do their work without fear of arrest in Russia and several other countries.</span> <span data-start-time='56146' data-end-time='65750'>People can now send information, known as a tip, about criminals to the U.S. government. </span> <span data-start-time='65750' data-end-time='77938'>They can send tips without giving their name through a form on the part of the internet known as the dark web.</span> <span data-start-time='77938' data-end-time='93208'>Sometimes the U.S. government is the target of a cyberattack, but other times, private companies that are important to the U.S. economy are victims as well.</span> <span data-start-time='93208' data-end-time='109542'>For example, an attack earlier this year against Colonial Pipeline disrupted work and travel for about a week in the eastern part of the U.S. </span> <span data-start-time='109542' data-end-time='121729'>The criminal group used software known as ransomware to take control of the pipeline’s computer systems. </span> <span data-start-time='121729' data-end-time='130021'>It only released its control after getting a payment of over $4 million. </span> <span data-start-time='130021' data-end-time='137854'>Most of the money was later recovered by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.</span> <span data-start-time='137854' data-end-time='155313'>REvil, another criminal group based in Russia, launched a ransomware attack on July 2 against more than 1,000 organizations and businesses around the world. </span> <span data-start-time='155313' data-end-time='166250'>After the group’s disappearance, an administration official would not say if the U.S. made the group go away. </span> <span data-start-time='166250' data-end-time='171375'>And a Russian official said he did not know about the group.</span> <span data-start-time='171375' data-end-time='183167'>Some cybercrime experts, however, think REvil may have disappeared to avoid U.S. officials.</span> <span data-start-time='183167' data-end-time='199688'>President Joe Biden’s administration is also educating businesses and individuals on how to keep their computer systems safe through a new website called stopransomware.gov.</span> <span data-start-time='199688' data-end-time='211563'>And the U.S. Treasury Department said it will work with banks and technology companies to avoid becoming victims of ransomware attacks.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back'
