Romanian Waters Drenched in Ransomware Chaos: 1,000 Systems Soaked!
Romanian Waters has been hit by a major ransomware attack, compromising around 1,000 systems. While the attack didn’t affect operational capabilities, Romanian Waters’ website remains offline. Authorities urge victims not to negotiate with attackers, who used BitLocker to encrypt files. Work is underway to integrate the network into Romania’s national cybersecurity system.
Hot Take:
Looks like Romania’s water management has gotten itself into a splashy situation! Cybercriminals have decided to pour their attention into Romanian Waters, leaving them high and dry (well, digitally at least). With 1,000 systems under attack, it seems they’ll need more than just a mop and bucket to clean up this mess. But hey, at least the water’s still running, right?
Key Points:
- Romania’s water management administration hit by ransomware, affecting 1,000 systems.
- Operations continue as hydrotechnical functions remain unaffected.
- Attackers used Windows’ BitLocker to encrypt files, demanding a ransom.
- Romanian cybersecurity agency advises against negotiating with attackers.
- Plans are underway to integrate Romanian Waters into a national cybersecurity framework.
