Some Youngsters Stopped a Terrible Cyber Attack
Some of the young researchers from the United Kingdom and the United States have been introduced in the role of the Trinity when IT experts were struggling at least 99 countries in the world to prevent cyber attacks using malicious software. Thousands of organizations have been rescued from the major losses in their activities.
The local time on Saturday found out the way to prevent
cyber attacks.
Earlier on Friday, the network activities of hospitals, banks,
government organizations, and various organizations of the world were stalled.
The attack attacked the online health system in the United Kingdom. Apart from
this, computer systems of different countries have become close. The main motive
of the attack was to enter the harmful software and earn money. For this reason
the attack is called the Ransomware attack (the use of ransom software for
ransom).
UK youths take help to 20 security engineers to save various
organizations from that attack. The UK's National Cyber Security Center and
several other organizations have congratulated the young man, who is in the anonym
'Malwaretech' online.
It is known that the youngster stopped a huge attack using
the 'Kill Switch' option. He used this switch option without knowing much
better in the beginning. But after that, it provides huge performing tasks.
Malwaretek is one of the cyber security communities around
the world. It is performed by various security companies or personal work,
through which various attacks are stopped. These community members often
publish their information on Twitter. Members of this community often use anonym
for protection or privacy protection.
In the blog post on Saturday, malwaretech anonym user UK
youth said that after getting lunch with a friend on Friday, overall in the
United Kingdom's healthcare system had been infected with ransomware. It seemed
to him to be "big something".
To solve the whole incident, the young man began to analyze
a sample of harmful software. He noticed that the software code contained the
address of a secret website. That domain was not registered for the website.
Realizing the issue, he immediately registered the domain. This kind of work he
did before. He did this kind of work in the past to identify or stop common
malignant software.
On the other hand, 28 years old engineer Darren Hues, a
resident of the west of the United States of Michigan, was researching the
issue. He said the makers had put an option called 'Kill Switch' on the malware
software, which could stop the cyber attack. He shares the issue of screenshots
on Twitter. Within a short time he was contacted by malwaretech in a
coincidence.
By contacting, both of them understand that the domain name
is registered and the attack is indicated on the malwave server, the switch
will be on. They did this thing as usual. In this way, the massive ransomware
attack was stopped.
