tr0910 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Media is going nuts with this, but real live cases with real live people are still scarce.... Unless you count FedEx, Deutsche Bahn, Britains Nation Health Service, numerous universities, and other businesses. Has the media got it wrong again??? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/hospitals-across-england-report-it-failure-amid-suspected-major-cyber-attack/2017/05/12/84e3dc5e-3723-11e7-b373-418f6849a004_story.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2017/05/13/wannacry-ransomware-outbreak-stopped-by-researcher/#4a20182b74fc Edited May 13, 2017 by tr0910 Link to comment
ashman70 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The spread of this has been stopped thankfully and it was only affecting those who had not patched their systems with a patch Microsoft released back in March. http://sensorstechforum.com/wncry-file-virus-remove-restore-files/ 1 Link to comment

It was on 15 May, 2017 when I came back to work and I found that my computer had been attacked by WannaCry ransomware. I was shocked at that time and began to realized what it meant to me. I have to give up my file, since I have no much money for the ransom. What I can do is to try some other ways to restore my files. Is there anyone having the same problem with me?

Don't pay the ransom! Paying the ransom will probably not get your files back. They have to give you the unlock code and I understand that they are not doing that even if you pay. Link to comment
