:01:24. > :01:32.to World News Today. The global cyber attack
:01:33. > :01:33.affecting organsiations in almost 100 countries
:01:34. > :01:36.is on an unprecedented scale. That's the assessment of Europe's
:01:37. > :01:41.police agency - EuroPol. More than 24 hours after the hack
:01:42. > :01:45.attack, the authorities say they are getting to grips
:01:46. > :01:48.with the problem. In the UK for instance,
:01:49. > :01:50.the government says most hospitals Other high-profile victims include
:01:51. > :02:02.the US courier company FedEx. Megafon was also affected -
:02:03. > :02:07.that's the second largest mobile And Spanish Telecoms giant
:02:08. > :02:19.Telefonica also hacked. The cyber attack which wreaked such
:02:20. > :02:25.chaos in Britain's health service was a global assault,
:02:26. > :02:27.affecting Russia worst of all but also countries
:02:28. > :02:30.as far apart as the US, The two British agencies tackling it
:02:31. > :02:35.said a complex international investigation would be needed
:02:36. > :02:38.to catch the culprits. We haven't identified the culprit
:02:39. > :02:42.at this time but we are deploying all covert and overt means available
:02:43. > :02:46.to us and we have a number It is important that we pursue those
:02:47. > :02:51.quickly so we can reassure the public we are taking
:02:52. > :02:53.this very seriously. At the heart of this attack
:02:54. > :02:57.was a software worm which spreads itself from computer to computer
:02:58. > :03:02.using code originally designed by US It encrypts all the files
:03:03. > :03:08.on infected computers By last night at least,
:03:09. > :03:16.75,000 computers had been infected At that point, a cyber security
:03:17. > :03:24.expert managed almost by chance All the data is still unusable
:03:25. > :03:33.until a ransom is paid. Any modern computer that
:03:34. > :03:37.had its software regularly updated was safe but some NHS trusts use
:03:38. > :03:41.old operating systems that were particularly vulnerable
:03:42. > :03:43.and others may simply have failed to take a security update
:03:44. > :03:47.released in March. Today, the National Security
:03:48. > :03:50.Centre had this advice. The first is to make
:03:51. > :04:00.sure your security software The second is to employ proper good
:04:01. > :04:08.anti-virus software and the third and most important for ransomware
:04:09. > :04:11.protection is to back up your data because you cannot be held to ransom
:04:12. > :04:14.if you have a back-up. It has been a reminder of how
:04:15. > :04:16.vulnerable organisations are to attack by organised criminals
:04:17. > :04:19.seeking to raise money or by hostile states and terrorist groups trying
:04:20. > :04:21.to cause maximum disruption. There are thousands
:04:22. > :04:25.of vulnerabilities. For example, if we were to look
:04:26. > :04:30.at a company of 50,000 computers, we might find hundreds of thousands
:04:31. > :04:36.of vulnerabilities It is also reminder that computers
:04:37. > :04:46.are not a one-off investment. Well, here in the UK,
:04:47. > :04:55.hospitals and doctor's surgeries were disrupted as a result
:04:56. > :05:02.of the hack. Well, as we heard briefly
:05:03. > :05:05.in Daniel's report, the global cyber attack was halted,
:05:06. > :05:07.almost by accident, after a 22-year-old in the UK
:05:08. > :05:09.checked the code and found a reference to an
:05:10. > :05:11.unregistered website name. The researcher who goes
:05:12. > :05:13.by the pseudonym MalwareTech then paid ten dollars to register
:05:14. > :05:15.the domain which caused much of the malicious
:05:16. > :05:17.programming to stop. He then reached out to the cyber
:05:18. > :05:20.security expert Darien Huss to confirm that he had indeed found
:05:21. > :05:22.a way to stop it. Mr Huss joined us earlier
:05:23. > :05:32.to tell us what happened. My colleague first pointed me to
:05:33. > :05:39.this malicious cyber attack and I started researching the incident and
:05:40. > :05:46.immediately discovered there was the domain hard-coded in the militias
:05:47. > :05:52.sample and the code is so simplistic that I realised that there is a kill
:05:53. > :05:58.switch functionality in the malware and so I proceeded to tweet about it
:05:59. > :06:04.and started conversing with other security researchers and that is
:06:05. > :06:10.when malware tech reached out to me to confirm that by sequencing that
:06:11. > :06:15.domain that was hard-coded in the malware, they were stopping
:06:16. > :06:19.infections. He has been called an accidental hero, hasn't he? He
:06:20. > :06:23.stopped the spread that those computers that were already
:06:24. > :06:28.infected, it was too late for them? Yes, that is correct. Unfortunately,
:06:29. > :06:34.many of the computers that were already infected by sequencing the
:06:35. > :06:39.domain that actually doesn't help those computers and many of those
:06:40. > :06:42.computers had all of their files encrypted so really the only way to
:06:43. > :06:48.recover from an attack like that is to either pay the ransom or to
:06:49. > :06:54.restore from a back-up that was previously made of those computers.
:06:55. > :06:56.Well, here in the UK, hospitals and doctor's surgeries
:06:57. > :07:00.were disrupted as a result of the hack.
:07:01. > :07:03.The BBC's health editor, Hugh Pym looks into how the cyber attack -
:07:04. > :07:07.affected Britain's huge state-run health sector.
:07:08. > :07:09.The news shocked staff and patients alike.
:07:10. > :07:11.The cyber attack shut down key systems.
:07:12. > :07:14.Ron Grimshaw won't forget it in a hurry.
:07:15. > :07:22.He was in the middle of having an MRI scan but it was abruptly
:07:23. > :07:31.I was stunned, obviously stunned, and the nurse said this is the first
:07:32. > :07:38.Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt was at a meeting of the emergency
:07:39. > :07:40.Cobra committee along with the Home Secretary,
:07:41. > :07:44.who denied there were weaknesses in NHS systems.
:07:45. > :07:47.I don't believe it is to do with being prepared.
:07:48. > :07:50.There is always more we can all do to make sure we are secure
:07:51. > :07:53.against viruses but I think there had already been good
:07:54. > :07:56.preparations in place by the NHS to make sure that they were ready
:07:57. > :08:09.In England, hospital and ambulance services have been affected at 48
:08:10. > :08:18.In Scotland, 11 out of 14 health boards have felt the impact,
:08:19. > :08:22.including health boards and GP surgeries.
:08:23. > :08:36.The Scottish Ambulance Service was also affected.
:08:37. > :08:38.2,000 PCs have been taken out of commission.
:08:39. > :08:45.It will take a few days but we will be working
:08:46. > :08:52.round-the-clock to do that as fast as we can.
:08:53. > :08:55.All but five of the English trusts have restored their networks.
:08:56. > :08:57.There could be more cancellations of routine surgery
:08:58. > :09:14.Well, so serious was the attack that finance ministers -
:09:15. > :09:17.meeting at the G7 summit - have called on banks around
:09:18. > :09:20.the world to test their systems and ensure they're protected.

:09:25. > :09:30.and what you can do to protect yourself.
:09:31. > :09:33.President Donald Trump says he could announce a replacement
:09:34. > :09:35.for fired FBI Director James Comey by late next week.
:09:36. > :09:38.He told reporters on board Air Force One he could name
:09:39. > :09:49.Lucy Grey has been looking at the possible nominations.
:09:50. > :09:58.The sacking of the director of the FBI sent shock waves through
:09:59. > :10:04.Washington. President Trump accused James Kobe of being a showboat and
:10:05. > :10:11.Grandstand. Trump says the decision could be made quickly. People love
:10:12. > :10:21.every well-known, the highest level, we can make a decision. US media
:10:22. > :10:25.reports that around 11 people in all are being considered for the role
:10:26. > :10:30.but four people are expected to meet the Attorney General Jeff Sessions
:10:31. > :10:33.and his deputy. They include acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, he has
:10:34. > :10:39.worked in the FBI for over 20 years, running the Washington yield of
:10:40. > :10:46.before coming deputy director. He defended his former boss and cast
:10:47. > :10:52.out White House claims that Mr Comey had lost the confidence of his
:10:53. > :10:54.staff. I hold Mr Comey in the highest regard, I have the highest
:10:55. > :11:00.respect for his considerable abilities and his integrity and it
:11:01. > :11:04.has been the greatest privilege and honour of my professional life to
:11:05. > :11:10.work with him. Also reported to be in the frame is Republican Senator
:11:11. > :11:15.John Corning, he is now the Senate Jo Riches whip. Alex Fisher,
:11:16. > :11:21.lawyer who previously read -- let lawyer who previously read -- let
:11:22. > :11:25.the just this department criminal division. Also, Michael Garcia, a
:11:26. > :11:29.judge on the New York State Court of Appeal. He has worked on
:11:30. > :11:34.high-profile terrorism investigations and was chairman of
:11:35. > :11:40.an investigation committee on at Fifa.
:11:41. > :11:43.One man following this story closely is Callum Borshures
:11:44. > :11:53.Thank you for being with us. We saw some of the candidates there. Who do
:11:54. > :12:00.you think front runners? Certainly the biggest names are John Corning
:12:01. > :12:07.and Andrew McCabe and Mike Rogers. They all represent different types
:12:08. > :12:16.of candidates. John Corning is loyal to Trump, and we know he prizes
:12:17. > :12:21.loyalty. McCabe is the incumbent. He was perfectly willing to consider
:12:22. > :12:25.the White House this past week. Mike Rogers is the pick of the union that
:12:26. > :12:32.represents FBI retired and current agents. Agents really like him
:12:33. > :12:37.because he used to be an FBI agent himself. They are probably the front
:12:38. > :12:41.runners. John Corning, tell us about him and what the reaction would be
:12:42. > :12:49.if he were to get the job? Well, I think that pig would be viewed
:12:50. > :12:54.sceptically by Democrats and others because he is so loyal to Trump.
:12:55. > :12:58.There is this ongoing investigation of Russian tampering in the election
:12:59. > :13:02.last fall and whether there was any collusion with the Trump campaign.
:13:03. > :13:08.So, putting John Corning in that role would have the appearance of
:13:09. > :13:11.trying to shutdown or stalled Gatt investigation, it might look as if
:13:12. > :13:16.Trump were trying to put somebody in the role who would make sure that
:13:17. > :13:19.nothing bad happened to him. This has been such a fast and fear this
:13:20. > :13:24.week in Washington politics, Democrats are furious, what has the
:13:25. > :13:31.response been from Republicans and Trump supporters? Well, they have
:13:32. > :13:35.said it is that about time and they have said Democrats are being
:13:36. > :13:39.hypocritical by objecting and they have a point, quite frankly, because
:13:40. > :13:43.Democrats were very critical of James Comey and the way he handled
:13:44. > :13:47.the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation during the campaign.
:13:48. > :13:51.But Democrats have said we didn't like the way he handled the
:13:52. > :13:54.investigation but we don't believe that is why the Trump administration
:13:55. > :13:59.is why they fired him, we think they fired him because he was trying to
:14:00. > :14:05.get him off his tail. So, this sort of act and forth is doubly
:14:06. > :14:12.complicated. Mr Comey wasn't very popular at times in either party. He
:14:13. > :14:17.was due to testify, we now know he isn't on Tuesday, will we hear from
:14:18. > :14:24.him any time soon? I suspect we will. We have had James Clapper who
:14:25. > :14:26.has been called to testify a couple of times, so there is a precedent
:14:27. > :14:30.for bringing in these folks who works in various intelligence
:14:31. > :14:36.leadership roles to hear what they have to say. It certainly was
:14:37. > :14:41.probably a bit too fresh for Mr Comey to come in and testify on
:14:42. > :14:44.Thursday of this week. Andrew McCabe went in his place but I suspect we
:14:45. > :14:53.will be hearing from Mr Comey at some point down the line. Thank you
:14:54. > :14:59.for being with us. Still to come, all the sport, including Manchester
