The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has warned member countries that cybercriminals were attempting to target major hospitals and other institutions on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 with ransomware.
In this regard, the Interpol has also issued a ‘Purple Notice’.
The International Criminal Police Organisation, or Interpol, is a 194-member intergovernmental organisation.
Headquartered in Lyon, France, it was formed in 1923 as the International Criminal Police Commission, and started calling itself Interpol in 1956.
