Ransomware attack: India largely safe

The Hindu  

While no major incident of the worldwide ransomware attack has been reported from India so far, Gulshan Rai, the Cyber Security Chief in the PMO, said a better impact assessment would be possible only on Monday when offices open. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, which on Saturday issued an advisory asking organisations to install updates to Windows systems, had in fact released a vulnerability note with a “Severity Rating of High” on March 15 for “a possible remote exploitation of this vulnerability.” The agency advised that the patch released by Microsoft be applied. CERT-In alert on ransomware attack Referring to the malware that entered the police cyber networks in Andhra Pradesh, Mr Rai said, “Since this has happened here on the weekend, we are expecting a better impact assessment on Monday.” For the attack, which is “perhaps the largest, most widespread and contiguous malware attack in history”, hackers have used a flaw in Microsoft software to infiltrate unguarded systems. Mr Chakrabarty added that the police system in Andhra Pradesh was impacted which may be “because they were using an older version of Microsoft operating system and poor patch maintenance”. CERT-In, in its advisory issued on Saturday, said that to prevent this infection, users and organisations are advised to apply patches to “Windows systems as mentioned in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS19-010.” Saket Modi, CEO & Co-Founder of cyber security firm Lucideus said individuals too can be targeted using WannaCry, but since “it’s a ransom worm which means that it automatically hops to another computer in the same network.
