Ransomware attack 2017

Answer 1

hello user ...

here is ur answer ✓✓

The WannaCry ransomware attack was a May 2017 wordwide cyber by the WannaCry ransomware cryptoworm, which targeted computers running the Microsoft Windowsoperating system by encrypting data and demanding ransom payments in the Bitcoincryptocurrency. It propagated through EternalBlue, an exploit in older Windows systems released by The Shadow Brokers a few months prior to the attack. While Microsoft had released patches previously to close the exploit, much of WannaCry's spread was from organizations that had not applied these, or were using older Windows systems that were past their end-of-life. WannaCry also took advantage of installing backdoors onto infected systems.
