President Donald Trump’s homeland security advisor Tom Bossert said the global ransomware attack WannaCry – which has has hit more than 200,000 organizations including hospitals and government agencies in 150 countries- is “under control” in the United States.
“[People] should be thinking about this as an attack that for right now we (have) got under control,” said Bossert, in an interview with ABC News on Monday. “But also as an attack that represents an extremely serious threat … this criminal threat has turned into something that has affected hospitals in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, [and] something that might morph into a more difficult threatening matter.”
