Ransomware attacks

Wannacry ransomware is the largest ransomware attack ever. It has claimed over 200,000 victims in over 150 countries across the world. Computers that have been attacked by ransomware become locked and the users must pay $300 in Bitcoin for encrypting their files. If they don’t pay the money in three days it will become $600, and if they don’t pay it in a week they are threatened that their files could be forever deleted.

I found this story extremely interesting because I have always had an interest in most things that have to do with computers. So naturally, I found it really interesting. Especially, since it was about the biggest ransomware attack. If you want to find out more, visit this site.
