Desperate attempts to contain the world’s biggest cyberattack appear to be working.
“The number of infected computers has not increased as expected, which is a success,” European law enforcement agency Europol said Monday.
Europol estimated Sunday that the attack had hit at least 150 countries and infected 200,000 machines. Hospitals, universities, manufacturers and government agencies in Britain, China, Russia, Germany and Spain have all been affected.
