BEIJING (AP) A financial services business of Chinas biggest bank says it was it by a ransomware attack that reportedly disrupted trading in the U.S. Treasury market.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Financial Services handles trades and other services for financial institutions.

The company, which is based in New York, said it was investigating and had reported the problem to law enforcement.
