NHS England was the victim of a massive ransomware attack on 12 May, resulting in some patients' operations being cancelled.The attack occurred after the USA's National Security Agency discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft's software called EternalBlue. This exploit was leaked by a hacker group called the Shadow Brokers earlier this year but the vulnerability was patched by Microsoft as soon as it happened.The problem comes from older versions of Windows or those without Windows Updates, as these were not patched by Microsoft and were left open to attacks.How Does WannaCry Work?WannaCry works by encrypting data on a computer that has been infected. It then tells the user that their files have been locked and displays information on how much is to be paid and when - payment is taken in Bitcoin.Like most malicious campaigns, this type of ransomware could arrive as an email attachment or as a download on your computer. For your system to become infected, you'll have to click on or downloading the attachment or file, which causes the program to run and infect your computer with ransomware.Is Your Computer Vulnerable? If you run an older version of Windows that is no longer supported by Microsoft, you will be vulnerable to WannaCry, according to Microsoft's blog. This includes Windows 8 and Windows XP, which the majority of NHS England trusts are using.No Worry, Here’s the Good News For You!AATI would like to invite you to attend a cyber security seminar, called "WannaCry Ransomware: What You Need To Know Before It’s Too Late?"When & Where?
