Acting Head of Ukrenergo:
There are already conclusions of various organizations, including with the UN agency, the purpose of this virus was definitely not extortion of money. The same opinion is shared by the experts of Ukrenergo. This is indicated by two factors: infrastructure companies that were amazed have their own powerful protection capabilities and licensed software, and such organizations do not pay money to extortionists in any case; The money acceptance system was not protected and was blocked by international organizations a few hours after the attack began, and then there was no opportunity to receive any money.
