A hacker has allegedly demanded Rs 200 crore in cryptocurrency from the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) after it was hit by a ransomware attack on November 23, according to a report by Press Trust of India (PTI).
The Delhi police, however, have denied the report. In a Tweet on Monday night, the law enforcement agency wrote, “Some sections of the press are reporting that ransom has been demanded against restoration of @aiims_newdelhi server. No such information brought to notice by AIIMS authorities.”
