Organizations in multiple countries have been reportedly hit in what appears to be the second global-scale ransomware attack in the last two months. The fast-spreading outbreak has so far disrupted many organizations, including those in critical infrastructure sectors, in Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, and India. The biggest difference is that the new attacks appear more professional and harder to stop via a killswitch like the one that took the wind out of WannaCry’s sails. Kaspersky Lab said that its telemetry data as of Tuesday afternoon indicates at least 2,000 organizations have been impacted, most of them based either in Russia or Ukraine.”]
