Banks in Spain affected by Ransomwares

[Saiyan Lusitano]

I follow 'El Periódico' for news in Spain and this popped up. El Periódico has reported an hour ago that a worldwide cyber attack has affected banks and companies alike.

And now, just within 3 minutes they've showed that Spanish banks are amongst those too.

What? Banks are bad!
Did you knows, it was illegal to lend someone money and make a profit out of it? Banks do that! I say fuck 'em

Yeah, some Russian companies (including Sberbank, one of the largest banks in Russia) were affected too, but it was, like, 3 weeks ago or so (?)

Not surprised. The future is not bright at all. The world is gone berserk!!!!

The money of the people could be at risk here and that's what concerns me, as a customer myself.

Mo ey of the people?you don't have money, banks lend it to you. And banks are insured, so hey, more profit

They got to be really stupid to let themselves get a killer virus on their computers

Think I'll try to stick to credit cards but then even that's hard to do with every card/online purchase, if I were to take all the money from my bank account.

exactly... the people who are dumb enough to neglect computer safety should suffer...
sadly the costumers may get affected...

Yeah I know man, but banks are terrible! I had an account in a bbank that went under, I had 500€ of savings, gone. The bank that took it's business, denied I had money
