If the headline read Liverpool instead of Manchester United versus a "sophisticated" cyber attack (https://grahamcluley.com/manchester-united-versus-a-sophisticated-cyber-attack/), no question that Winchester73 would have been upset. ;)
QuoteLast Friday, the day before it was scheduled to play a football match against West Bromwich Albion, Manchester United revealed (https://otp.tools.investis.com/clients/us/manchester_united/usn/usnews-story.aspx?cid=972&newsid=71700) that it had fallen victim to a cyber attack.
What Manchester United chose not to do is give any details of the "cyber attack" it had suffered.
Despite the lack of information offered in the press release, I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester United had been hit by ransomware.
