K-Electric
K-Electric, the sole electricity provider for Karachi, Pakistan, has suffered a Netwalker ransomware attack that led to the disruption of billing and online services.
K-Electric customers have been unable to access the online services for their accounts after the attack.
To resolve this issue, K-Electric appears to be trying to reroute users through a staging site but is currently having difficulties.
The ransomware operators demanded a $3,850,000 ransom payment and If a ransom is not paid within seven days, the ransom would be increased to $7.7 million.
K-Electric states that their initial investigations show that no data was stolen, but that they continue to work with local law enforcement and IT security experts.
