WannaCry ransomware worm

»» 19.MAI.2017 / updated: ---/

WannaCry ransomware worm: It spreads by exploiting an operating system vulnerability, and by the lack of Windows security update, blocking hard disk data that can only be unlocked after transferring a certain amount.

It does not necessarily spread through an infected email attachment, attackers often use traditional phishing emails, so do not open unknown email. If it is a suspicious email, delete, or quarantine.
