criminal group known as locked bit has demanded the company pay $25 million or risk the release of sensitive information. The company has said they cannot and will not pay up. Christian leuprecht saabs degree expert from queens university distorting us now with some more insight. Good morning to christian thanks r being with us. >> Speaker: good morning my >> Sonia: how do you feel about the company stands on this to not pay? >> Speaker: this is the same recommendation by that canadian centre for cyber security. A company does not pay up because it makes them more vulnerab and makes all other enti on canada vulnerable when companies do pay up, this particular gang has been around for quite some time, and those responsible for 20 percent of cyber security ransomware's canada, about 44 percent bubbly. This is a really sophisticated operation with which london drugs got hit. >> Sonia: used of element in ths where hearing that lock bit, theompany that cyber criminal group, locked bit has taken down theequest from the dark web portal london drugs to pay up. What does that indicate to you if anything? >> Speaker: well, so it means you may have determined that is not worth the fight, and the're just going to walk away, looks like london drugs case be confident enough that they can bring their systems back up. Lock bit often to going after and networks. It develops its owno do that, and also muscles capacities to other actors. It has three the tip of the sphere series ransomwareions, lock bit has grossed ov $100 million know this because there's charged charged with operating for lock bit and try 19 and 2022.i saw the perpetrators of these crimes are necessary to sparkly jurisdictions. The murray here inanada. >> Sonia: interestin lee heard other entities here in bc beingchided, the bc government, first nations health authority, there has been a lot of these types of incidents in the lfew weeks, you expectdo you believe that this could be a coordinated attack or do you think this just a coincidence? >> Speaker: no we seen this before. Price is going on for that town. St. Mary's and ontario to stratford, ontario and ross 75,000. Alison payment, so often did asked between one and three bitcoin coin as payment, the rise price of the coin even thats quite expensive. Not a mask can alsoe in the millions and tens of millions of dollars payments he can see why companies might look at us. There are two types of targets. One entities entities are likely to pay unger systems is up and running as london drugs is, because they're counting on london drugs to close its doors. In the ge or public, signific risk for instance to privacy data, tax data, entities escape more entities that are likely toe under pressure to pay out, to have insufficient time to try to ready networks request federal provincial authorities to do so. >> Sonia: so do you tactics to get companiespay out. And it does leave theer question of the information that could potentially be compromised. What would you say to everydaybritish columbians or customers of london drugs might be concerned the information can be targetr released? >> Jason: I think. >> Speaker: there is tenses here. One is of course, the individuals and it feels like this primarily employee information at stake. Emee information is not critical, so they are in live with I would end up on the dark way. Others of course london drugs and hence, and business practices because these things happen because companies treat security as basically I did not cross issue. Apparently it appears I was scared not been elevated. To the cc for on the drugs. London drug ceo will have something to answer for inms of their business practices here that also be a wake-up call rather canadian companieshat are need to elevate cyber rity to the c suite so doesn't impose significant costs it has a privacy information for customers andloyees and financial costs and of course pose a significant reputational cost as london drugs has discovered. >> Sonia: all right certainly gives us a bit more insight into the situation.
