What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Public and Private Sector Ransomware Response Coordination Act of 2025," directs the Secretary of the Treasury to conduct a comprehensive study on ransomware attacks. The Secretary must report on how the public and private sectors coordinate to prevent and respond to these attacks on financial institutions. The report will examine the coordination among government agencies and the timeliness of information sharing. It also looks into whether current reporting requirements are useful for investigations or prosecutions. Additionally, the report must address why financial institutions might delay reporting and recommend ways to improve partnerships. Finally, the Secretary is required to brief specific congressional committees on these findings.
