46 Investigators and researchers are still learning of the scope of the cyberattack which has hit US government agencies and other victims around the world.
WASHINGTON: A devastating cyberattack on US government agencies has also hit targets worldwide with the list of victims still growing, according to researchers, heightening fears over computer security and espionage.
Microsoft said late Thursday that it had notified more than 40 customers hit by the malware which security experts say came from hackers linked to the Russian government and which could allow attackers unfettered network access. While roughly 80% of these customers are located in the United States, this work so far has also identified victims in seven additional countries, Microsoft president Brad Smith said in a blog post.
