State Life says not affected by WannaCry ransomware

In the last week, a massive attack of ransomware malware had affected thousands of computers across the world. There have been some reports that computers in Pakistan have also been affected.

State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan is alarmed to learn that certain news channels have been airing news of computers at SLIC offices and head office being affected by this ransom-ware and that data has been lost or compromised. This news is false.

SLIC would like to clarify that all computer systems, managed by the high capable and resourceful IT department at SLIC, are completely safe and that no data has either been lost or compromised during the last week or at any other time.

Like all companies which carry customer data, SLIC takes data management and privacy very seriously and is committed to ensuring that best-practices in terms of IT management are implemented at all its offices.
