Late last month, reports surfaced of a “massive cyberattack” originating in Europe and quickly spreading to major corporations across the globe. According to Bloomberg reports on June 27, the attack was similar to WannaCry, first targeting Russia and the Ukraine, with more than 80 businesses were affected. The attack saw a ransom of $300 in cryptocurrency demanded from corporates to unlock their computers.
Similarly, Android recently came under attack again with the CopyCat ransomware sneaking into people’s devices. The malware campaign stretched across April and May of 2016 and had as its breeding ground third-party app stores, among other conduits, skirting Google Play.
