Bank refuses to pay ransom to hackers, sends dick pics instead
I’m not sure if it would be enough for me to switch bank accounts, but I have something of a sneaking respect for the Bank of Zambia.
As Bleeping Computer reports, Zambia’s central bank fell foul of a ransomware attack orchestrated by the Hive ransomware gang earlier this month.
In a press release, the Bank of Zambia reassured its customers, partners, and media that it had recovered from the attack:
“The disruption, which affected some systems at the Bank such as the Bureau De Change Monitoring System and the Website, emanated from a suspected cybersecurity incident. We wish to advise that these systems have since been fully restored.”
Well, that’s good to know – but it’s not that that impresses me.

A fine example was set not so long ago.
