Ransomware first came into existence in 2012 where it used to fool people by claiming money in behalf of Metropolitan Police. Since then Ransomware always come with new version of malware which infect computers of users across the world and locked it up so that they can\u2019t access the data files present in it. Actually, Ransomware infects the computer system by encrypting the data files present in it, and then demands money in bitcoins from the user to provide the decryption key which can be used to decrypt the data.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>WannaCry also known as WannaCrypto is the latest version of Ransomware family which is reported to start infecting users across the world 13<sup>th<\/sup> May onwards. While we are sitting in our offices and homes, more than 2 lakh users are locked up with their computer system in more than 150 countries. WannaCry Ransomware has infected thousands of user computers across the globe and the number is increasing each passing minute.<\/p>\n<p>WannaCry Ransomware is a virus infection which gets into your computer system from email attachments and when the user try to open the infected attachment, the virus infected gets into the system. When WannaCry gets activated in user\u2019s computer, it starts encrypting any data files present in the system on random basis which makes them inaccessible to the user. Ransomware program demand an amount of ransom which needs to be paid to the hackers who in return might provide the decryption key to unlock the encrypted files.<\/p>\n<p>WannaCry has come up with advanced malware which this time has blocked the shadow copy of the data files present in the computer system. But blocked the shadow copy of the data files, WannaCry doesn\u2019t allows users to recover back the previous version of the encrypted data files.<\/p>\n<p>We would recommend Windows user to install these security patches released by Microsoft in their computer system to stay protected from any future ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Unistal always care about the security of the user\u2019s data which is currently been threatened by the attack of Ransomware WannaCry. That\u2019s why we are planning to develop an Anti-Ransomware Bunker Protection Software which will provide complete protection from any existing or future version of ransomware attack.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Follow us on:-<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/protegent360.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13\"
