The ransomware gang responsible for the London hospitals attack has expressed no remorse and claimed the attack was deliberate and politically motivated. Experts have questioned the political explanation, suggesting the gang is financially motivated. The gang has demanded a $50 million ransom and claimed to have gained access using a zero-day vulnerability.
After examining the meeting notes, the key takeaways are as follows:
– The ransomware gang responsible for the healthcare crisis at London hospitals deliberately targeted healthcare and education sectors due to their reliance on uptime and the sensitive data they hold.
– The gang claims to have a politically motivated basis for their attacks, aiming at companies associated with political elites of specific countries.
– Despite the deliberate nature of the attack, the gang claims to be sympathetic to the impact on ordinary residents of London but shows no regret for their actions.
– The ransom demand was set at $50 million, and the gang claims to have stolen more than one terabyte of data, which they plan to leak in the coming days.
– The gang claims to have used a zero-day vulnerability to gain access to the system but did not specify the product or source of the vulnerability.
– The gang is believed to be operating out of Russia and has a history of targeting Western organizations.
These key points provide a clear overview of the situation and the gang’s motives and actions.
