Unfortunately, the attackers who created the virus-extortionist WannaCry, managed to get around way to stop your “malware”. The virus code has improved, the network now “walks” a new version of “weeper”.
Previously, the spread of the virus was blocked by the British expert on cyber security (his Twitter MalwareTechBlog) who registered the domain-switch iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com the name of which was contained in the code of the virus itself. When the virus was contacted at this address and received a response, according to a special algorithm, WannaCry stayed.
Alas, now this method no longer works. Experts expect the peak of infections today, may 15. And associate it with the beginning of the work week.
In Russia WannaCry the attack targeted the computers of many banks, Railways, police, telecommunications companies, interior Ministry, emergencies Ministry and so on.
In “Kaspersky Lab” claim that the attack occurred through network vulnerability Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.
