The Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) has identified a 20-year-old Chinese man, surnamed Lo, as the hacker 'Crazyhunter' who executed a ransomware attack on MacKay Memorial Hospital on February 6. The attack incapacitated the hospital's systems, and payment was demanded for restoration. CIB's investigation employed IP data and ransomware analysis, leading to Lo's identification as a cyber security employee from Zhejiang Province. He now faces multiple charges, including extortion and violation of data protection laws, with prosecutors seeking an arrest warrant, though cooperation from China remains uncertain.
