The company turned to the police. As Interfax adds, Rosneft expressed the hope that the attack "is in no way related to current judicial procedures."
As they write with reference to the sources of “Vedomosti”, all computers in the Bashneft, Bashneft-Dobych refinery and the Bashneft Office “rebooted unanimously. Then they downloaded unidentified software and brought the Wannacry virus on the screen. ”
On the screen there was a proposal to translate bitcoins in the amount of $ 300 and the address of the wallet. After that, users are promised to send a key to unlock computers.
Rosneft assured that they switched to the reserve management system, so there were no “serious consequences”: they did not stop the production and preparation of oil.
The company's website has stopped working some time after reporting about the attack. The official Bashneft portal is also unavailable.
In Bashkiria, on June 27, consideration began on the merits of the Rosneft claim for AFK System in the amount of 170.6 billion rubles. The claims of the company Igor Sechin are related to the reorganization of Bashneft, which the system, being its owner, carried out in 2014.
Previously, hackers attacked Ukrainian banks, as well as several commercial and state -owned enterprises of the country. According to TJournal, Ukrenergo networks were infected with a new form of a sipper virus, similar to Wannacry. Computers in the company began to reboot, after which a message appeared on the screen demanding to pay $ 300 in bitcoins to decrypt files.
In May, about 200 thousand users in 150 countries of the world became victims of the Wannacry Master-Monk, which required a ransom for unlocking user data.
