WannaCry Ransomware

WannaCry, the malicious software behind Friday's worldwide hacking attack has infected about 2,00,000 computer systems in 150 countries on Friday itself and has now started developing it's roots in India with cases coming from Gujarat, Kerala, UP, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, etc.

How it works

WannaCry is a form of ransomware that locks up files on your computer and encrypts them in a way that you cannot access them anymore until you pay a ransom. It targets Microsoft’s widely used Windows operating system.

When a system is infected, a pop-up window appears with instructions on how to pay a ransom amount of $300 using Bitcoins

How it spreads

Ransomware is a program that gets into your computer, either by clicking or downloading malicious files. It then holds your data as Ransom. Some forms of ransomware execute programs that can lock your computer entirely, only showing a message to make payment in order to log in again. While others create pop-ups that are difficult or impossible to close, rendering the machine difficult or impossible to use.
