WannaCry cyberattack compromised some Russian banks: central bank

MOSCOW: The WannaCry cyberattack compromised Russian banks' systems in some isolated cases, the Russian central bank said, in the first official acknowledgement by Moscow that the attack had an impact on the banking system. 

In a statement, the central bank said the consequences of the attack – which it did not detail – had been dealt with quickly. The central bank had previously said Russian banks were targeted in the cyberattack late last week, but that the attack had been unsuccessful.
