Clop Flops: Cyberattackers Face Off Against Cash-Strapped NHS!

The NHS is under cyberattack claims from extortion crew Clop, but don’t hold your breath for a payday. The gang, known for Oracle EBS exploits, added the NHS to its leak site. However, the notoriously underfunded NHS doesn’t pay ransoms, leaving Clop in a bind. Extorting the NHS is like squeezing water from a stone!

Hot Take:

Ah, the Clop gang, trying to milk the NHS like a cow that gives no milk. A cybercriminal’s dream turned nightmare, because as everyone knows, the NHS isn’t the goose that lays the golden eggs—more like the goose that honks loudly and keeps waddling away.

Key Points:

  • Clop cybercriminal gang supposedly targets NHS, yet fails to specify which part.
  • The gang lists the NHS’s revenue inaccurately, possibly using Google for math.
  • NHS does not pay ransoms, complicating Clop’s extortion efforts.
  • UK’s proposed ban on ransom payments may soon thwart any hope for cybercriminals.
  • NHS and cybersecurity teams are investigating the claims with the National Cyber Security Centre.
