A good read from the FT on how this crisis has left us so distracted and disoriented that our defences are down, even as we depend more than ever on all things digital.
In San Francisco, a University of California laboratory also suffered a “ransomware” attack. The hackers froze its systems — systems that were supporting the search for a cure for Covid-19 — and demanded payment. The laboratory did hand over a ransom of 116.4 bitcoins ($1.14m) because “the data that was encrypted is important to some of the academic work we pursue as a university serving the public good”, it told the BBC.
