On July 15, 2021, the
DOJ and DHS together with additional federal
partners launched StopRansomware.gov,
a one-stop hub intended to help the private and public sector
mitigate the threat of ransomware. The website includes a
range of resources geared towards private organizations, public and
private critical infrastructure sectors, K-12 educational
institutions, and state, local, tribal, and territorial
governments.
Consistent with the U.S. government's increased focus on
the ransomware threat, the website identifies different ways to
report ransomware incidents to law enforcement, encourages such
reporting, and in one place even states that “every
ransomware incident should be reported to the U.S.
government.”
