A large number of computers have been infected with Ransomware, RobbinHood, for more than a month since May 7 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, where they have been suspended from e-mail and other public services, hospitals and pharmaceutical factories, airports and ATMs. City authorities took immediate steps to prevent malicious code from spreading, but according to security company Kaspersky Lab, eventually 10,000 computers could not be used.
It says that 13BTC (bit coin) is required to unlock the computer by malicious code. Bitcoin prices fluctuate so much that it is difficult to say how much, but it usually amounts to $ 80,000 to $ 120,000.
Anyway, the Ransomware has made it seem like Baltimore has returned to a pre-development era. For example, you will not be able to make electronic payments, so all tickets and traffic violation tickets will be issued and charged. Ransomware attacks and losses from the aftermath are estimated at $ 10 million.
The Baltimore market is appealing that it is open to business and the urban economy is moving, but it is pointing out that more spending will be needed to strengthen the city’s system in the future. For more information, please click here .
