University of California Pays Ransomware
Return To ArticleThe University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has confirmed it paid a ransom totaling $1.14 million (£925,000) to the criminals behind a cyber-attack on its School of Medicine.
On June 1, the hackers behind the Netwalker ransomware campaign attacked UCSF networks within the School of Medicine IT environment. While this thankfully did not impact either patient care delivery operations or research work on a cure for COVID-19, data on a “limited number of servers” was successfully encrypted according to a UCSF statement published June 26.
