“Cybercriminals may not only want money, but may have hacktivism objectives” – interview with Selva Orejón on – Café d’Idees LA 2

Selva Orejón, CEO of OnBranding, suggests that hacktivism may be behind the cyberattack on Hospital Clínic de Barcelona: “It wouldn’t be the first time they wanted more than just money,” she says, noting that this is not necessarily the case. In an interview on Café d’Idees with Gemma Nierga, she warns about where the money demanded in cyberattacks may go: “If lives are not at stake, you never pay, I would never pay.” She explains that criminal groups that perpetrate cyberattacks, such as Ransom House, the organization that carried out the cyberattack on Hospital Clínic, operate by sectors to “optimize efforts and resources.” She also explains how we should protect ourselves against cyberattacks like the one suffered by Hospital Clínic.
