Breaking News: Ransomeware Virus Attacks Spreads To 99 Countries by bababode825(m): 9:04am On May 13, 2017
Hello All,

Trust my mail meets you well.

I would like to use this medium this medium to warn us all of a global cyber attack caused by the Virus Ransomeware.

Basically, the virus infects a vulnerable system and asks for a ransom ( some say 1.5 Bitcoins) before the data can be released.

Also, the virus can also spread on a shared network such as ours.

We can read more about the story on CNN at http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/12/technology/ransomware-attack-nsa-microsoft/index.html

What you can do?
1. Perform a windows update asap
2. Update your antivirus (not trial versions)

Stay safe
