The second wave of WannaCry attacks appears to have just started within the past few hours.
It is expected that we will see a lot of NEW virus variants.
How to protect yourself
- If you use Windows, install the Microsoft patch. You can find instructions on Microsoft Knowledge Base. You can also directly download the patches for your OS from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
- If you are using an unsupported version of Windows like Windows XP, Windows 2008 or Server 2003, get the patches for your unsupported OS from the Update Catalog.
- Update your Antivirus software IMMEDIATELY.
- If you don’t have anti-virus, at least install Windows Defender.
- Backup NOW! After the backup make sure you remove you backup HDD. If you get infected, you will have a safe backup OFFLINE!
