Ransomware attack WannaCry News
The country is least prepared to tackle the ransomware virus 'WannaCry' because of the low level of awareness about malicious software, a senior official looking after West Bengal's IT security said on Wednesday.
The WannaCry ransomeware virus is feared to have attacked the data system of the government-run Berhampur City Hospital here in Odisha's Ganjam district, officials said.
According to the researchers, the "Adylkuzz" attack is still growing.
The IT ministry has reached out to key stakeholders like RBI, National Payments Corporation of India, NIC and UIDAI (Aadhaar) to advise them to protect their systems against 'Wanna Cry' ransomware to ensure that the digital payments ecosystem in the country is protected.
Critical infrastructure agencies including banks, airports, telecom networks and stock markets have been asked to take precautions to shield themselves against the crippling global ransomware attack 'WannaCry'.
