Sweden’s central bank has filed a police report after some of its IT systems were rendered inaccessible by a ransomware attack that has crippled customers of Finnish software company Tietoevry Oyj since last weekend.
The Riksbank’s human resources and payroll systems were still out of service on Thursday following the attack, according to a spokesperson. A large number government agencies and private companies in Sweden have been hit, including the country’s parliament and its biggest cinema chain.
