Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

edit

The list of hacked organisations lists the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, citation 141, which is used for the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cites a cybernetic attack that was sent as a fake message from NATO. While the date of the cited article corresponds with the WannaCry attack, the article does not mention WannaCry and does not mention ransomware at all. Furthermore, a Google search does not show any evidence of the virus being WannaCry.

Possible change to a sentence in paragraph one

edit

I'd like to change sentence 5 of paragraph 1. "These patches were imperative to an organization's cyber-security but many were not applied because of neglect, ignorance, mismanagement, or a misunderstanding about their importance." The information is good but it is phrased a little oddly. I think a shorter sentence might be more clear. For example we could do something like: "These patches were imperative to organizations' cyber security but many were not implemented due to general ignorance of their importance."

If anyone has other suggestions or thinks the current phrasing is good, please reply! Thanks, Its choosday innit (talk) 22:54, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
