10 Cyber Stocks Moving Since Biden's Warning

On Monday President Joe Biden said “based on evolving intelligence, Russia may be planning a cyber attack against us [United States].”

What Happened: The Biden administration said it gathered intelligence over the weekend that suggested Russia could be planning a cyberattack against the United States. Biden warned that the magnitude of Russia’s cyber capacity is "fairly consequential."

The federal government is doing its part to prepare for the possibility of a cyberattack, but reminds the private sector that “it largely decides the protections that we will, or will not take," Biden said. 

“It is the national interest at stake, I would respectfully suggest that this is a patriotic obligation to invest as much as you can in making sure that you have built up your technological capacity to deal with cyber attacks.”
