Am I at risk?
The WannaCry ransomware affects machines running the Windows operating system. It was a security flaw that was originally exploited by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) which was then leaked earlier this year. Hackers are now using this themselves.
If you or your organization is running a version of Windows, you could be at risk.
What should I do to protect myself?
Authorities in the U.S. and U.K. have issued guidance on what to do.
Individuals and small businesses should:
-Run Windows Update to get the latest software updates.
-Make sure any anti-virus product is up to date and scan your computer for any malicious programs. It's also worth setting up regular auto-scans.
-Back up important data on your computer in case it gets held for ransom.
