The UK government hacked the NHS. The talking heads were all out today with their solutions (pre-prepared)

Problem-reaction-solution - that's how the UK media-state operates.

Motive: to make the government's kill-list through denial of health services, more secure.

I believe that this was a test, to determine how potent the ransomware is.

They are probably going to work on it, improve it, and do another attack in the next few months.

'Accidental hero' finds kill switch to stop spread of ransomware cyber-attack | Technology | The Guardian

'However, a UK cybersecurity researcher tweeting as @malwaretechblog , with the help of Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, found and activated a “kill switch” in the malicious software. '

'An “accidental hero” has halted the global spread of the WannaCry ransomware, reportedly by spending a few dollars on registering a domain name hidden in the malware. '

'The kill switch won’t help anyone whose computer is already infected with the ransomware, and and it’s possible that there are other variants of the malware with different kill switches that will continue to spread. '

'The switch was hardcoded into the malware in case the creator wanted to stop it spreading. '

'Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user’s data, then demands payment in exchange for unlocking the data. '
