A cyber attack has struck around the world and has affected more than 150 countries as of May 15, 2017. A virus called “Wanna Cry” has went into computers so that the computer would be affected. The whole purpose of the Wanna Cry virus is to get money. When a person opens up their computer, the screen will ask them to pay a lot of money to close up the screen. Interestingly, not many people accepted the fine and they usually just reported it. India was among the worst affected for this virus. The Wanna Cry virus is slowly dying down, but is still a trouble around the world.
I chose to blog about this story because of how serious it was. When I first read the site, I was so surprised that a virus could affect the whole world. I was also interested in the details of the website because the words were making me think that I was experiencing this. Overall I found this site very interesting.

ReplyDeleteI have windows 10 and this is scaring me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do not have any Windows systems, My Mac runs bootcamp so I have access to more programming options. That means that my mac can get the virus!
