Manhunt for hackers behind global cyberattack
Listers, http://www.nation.co.ke/news/world/Manhunt-for-hackers-behind-global-cyberat... In Summary French police said there were "more than 75,000 victims" around the globe, but cautioned that the number could increase "significantly". Payment is demanded within three days or the price is doubled, and if none is received within seven days the files will be deleted, according to the screen message. Microsoft said the situation was "painful" and that it was taking "all possible actions to protect our customers". US software firm Symantec said the majority of organisations affected were in Europe, and the attack was believed to be indiscriminate. The use of the word MANHUNT leads me to ask the question, are we really prepared for potential challenges a digital nation could face? Regards -- Barrack O.
