Mexican oil firm Pemex is refusing to pay a ransom of about $5 million in bitcoins after a ransomware attack against the firm’s administrative offices. Energy Minister Rocio Nahle says the company’s field operations, such as oil and gas plants and wells, continued to function. The attack, which occurred on Sunday, has mainly affected PemEx’s administrative operations in Mexico City. The company has offered updates throughout the week on Twitter, noting that only about 5 percent of its systems were affected by the unnamed ransomware strain.”]
