Hacker stunned! Ransomware is rampant worldwide: Victims refuse to pay ransom

Since last Friday, the ransomware virus WannaCry has spread wildly around the world, and the old-fashioned places have become hard-hit areas such as hospitals, schools, enterprises and institutions.

In this virus crisis, hackers took advantage of a loophole in the U.S. National Security Agency. After making changes on this basis, they were released and flooded around the world to send threats to companies and institutions: surrendering $300 and more ransom. , can ensure that the computer system continues to run.

In addition to Chinese colleges and universities, British hospitals are also the area most severely damaged by blackmail viruses. For hacking extortion, British Interior Secretary Amber Rudd once again stressed that they will not pay ransom, but also advise institutions and companies that have been attacked by viruses. Give hackers ransom money.

The BBC reported that it was not unexpected that the hospital was a serious victim of the WannaCry virus attack. In the past two years, the medical system has encountered hundreds of ransomware attacks. After all, hospitals obviously lag behind other industries in upgrading security systems and updating software.

Security experts also emphasized that many factors have caused the hospital to become the target of ransomware attacks. In particular, hospitals have a large amount of information and data that are urgent in time and cannot withstand the impact of information systems or computers that stop working. It has also been reported in the past that some hospitals that had been attacked had paid ransom to hackers.

The expert said that if no one paid ransom to hackers, it would not be possible for hackers to continue to launch large-scale ransomware attacks. For this time, the European Commission of Interpol will cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the investigation of the culprit of this cyber attack. At present, they tend to think that the attack is more likely to be a criminal offense than a terrorist attack, and it should be a gang committing crimes, but finding the culprits behind the scenes may be “very difficult” because criminals can easily hide their whereabouts on the Internet.

The European Union Interpol stated that fortunately only a very small number of victims paid ransom to criminals, so the criminal gangs behind them did not draw too much from them. In fact, according to yesterday's data, the hackers behind the WannaCry virus currently receive 8.2 bitcoins worth about $14,000 (about 97,000 yuan). It must be known that this has harmed nearly 200,000 PCs in more than 100 countries. .
