    Russia suffered the highest number of registered WannaCry attacks globally and now suddenly they did not.....

    Deputy secretary for Russia's National Security Council says WannaCry ransomware caused minimal damage in Russia.

    That is not the story carried by their state media in the first days of the attack....

    Over 100K computers got hit....as Russian runs largely illegal MS XP copies ......and illegal copies of MS Server 2003....

    Average Russian OS's are XP and MS Server 03?

    That's crazy.

    I think I also read that Russian banks only invest a fraction of that spent by major US/Western banks on IT/Cyber security.

    Is the Russian banking sector seriously vulnerable to a non attributable proxy attack campaign?

    Answer to the question is...yes they are example..Morgan Stanley invested over 600M USDs in IT security in 2016 for their global network........

    Entire Russian banking system 25M USDs.....

    BTW...a lot of MS W7 was hit inside Russia......
