Introduced on October 5, the bill will help to protect investors from cyber-attacks by gathering critical data on fiat and cryptocurrency payments. This legislation by US Senator Warren, follows after the increasing rate of illegal financial activities being carried out in the U.S., and the good senator is hoping to discover “a fuller picture” of ransomware attacks.

Congresswoman Ross has always been vocal about her stance on ransomware attacks. She believes that U.S investors not being required by law to report ransomware payments, is largely responsible for the persistence of such attacks. According to her, she believes the new legislation will ensure that all critical information regarding a ransom demanded is noted. This will include informations about the amount paid and the type of currency used.

Ransomware victims in the U.S. would be bound by this bill to disclose ransoms within 48 hours of payment through a website that the DHS will set up soon enough.
