Hacker demands nothing after infecting Hong Kong Department of Health with ransomware

An unknown attacker used ransomware to lock up three computers owned by Hong Kongs main healthcare provider, only to leave an email address where he could be reached to offer the decryption keys. Investigators found no evidence of any data leak, and no ransom was demanded. This is just the latest in a long string of attacks targeting the healthcare sector at a global level. Not having to give into a ransom demand is key to discouraging future attempts on your infrastructure, especially in the HCPs.”]
