What You Need to Know About the 2017 Ransomware Event

wannacry_05_1024x774Last Friday, businesses across the globe began to experience the effects of this years most potent ransomware outbreak. Dubbed "WannaCry", this malware finds its way onto your computer systems via sophisticated phishing attempts, and once it's inside it only gets worse. WannaCry then begins to worm throughout your network and infect any and all vulnerable machines it finds, encrypting all data and demanding a Bitcoin ransom to return them. WannaCry can effectively shut down any business it infects, holding your data hostage for as long as it takes to get paid.
