Whoa, big news on the financial front! ICBC, China’s banking giant, got hit by a nasty ransomware attack, causing chaos not just in their systems but also messing with the US Treasury markets. It’s like a financial earthquake sending shockwaves globally.
Word on the street is that the troublemakers go by the name LockBit, a ransomware crew that might have some ties to Russia. But here’s the twist – LockBit operates like a shady service provider, so it could be any of their buddies causing this digital mayhem.
As for the ransom amount, that’s still under wraps. The hackers are playing a suspense game, and nobody knows if they swiped any sensitive data in the process. It’s like a high-stakes digital drama unfolding in the financial world.
