Bank ATMs across India might escape the WannaCry worm global attack that locks computers and demands a ransom, cyber security experts said on Monday. Speculation swirled in India over the safety of ATMs after WannaCry crippled more than 200,000 computer systems across 150 countries since Friday. Experts cautioned that this is high time for banks to update the software used in ATMs. “The RBI has directed banks to update the Microsoft patch on Friday after news of the ransomware. This helped India’s banking system to insulate against potential threats,” said Sivarama Krishnan, the partner and leader of cyber security at PwC India.
