A massive global cyberattack affecting 200,000 victims will cause more chaos on Monday

There’s going to be even more chaos from an ongoing massive global cyberattack on Monday morning.

Europol’s executive director Robert Wainwright told ITV that there were at least 200,000 victims across 150 countries so far, and that number will go up on Monday morning when people go back to work.

A security researcher warned there might be another attack imminently.

Wainwright said: “We’re in the face of an escalating threat, the numbers are going up, I’m worried about how numbers will continue to grow when people go to work and turn their machines on on Monday morning.”

Europol is the EU’s law enforcement and intelligence agency. It’s working with the FBI to track down the criminals responsible for the malware, but Wainwright said this was “very difficult.”
