NEW YORK (AP) – The latest on the global extortion cyberattack that hit dozens of countries (all times local):

3:25 p.m.

A law enforcement official says investigators believe additional companies in the United States have been affected by the global “ransomware” software cyberattack but have not yet come forward to report the attacks.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation.

The official says that investigators have obtained some of the phishing emails and are analyzing them for “bread crumbs” that may lead them to the attackers.
