China's biggest bank hit by ransomware attack

World Business Report

Available for over a year

China's biggest bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's (ICBC), has been hacked by ransomware - and it has caused problems in America, the world's most important sovereign bond market. Roger Hearing looks at what this means for security at global financial institutions. We also look at why Polish truckers have spent almost a week blockading the border with Ukraine. And as the Hindu festival of Diwali begins, are cash-strapped Indian families going to be spending as much as usual on the celebrations? (Picture credit: Future Publishing/Getty Images)
