Earlier this year, hacking cluster Shadow Brokers claimed that it had taken cyber weapons from the America’s United States intelligence agency, which might be accustomed get unshackled access to the computers running Microsoft Windows and different in operation systems. Now, the malicious code WanaCrypt0r a pair of.0 (aka WCry) is being employed to hold out one in every of the most important ransomware attacks of its kind.
Dozens of states are hit with this cyberextortion attack that locks up computers and holds user’s files for ransom. Multiple firms, government agencies, and hospitals have become a target of this attack. Security firm Avast has recorded more than 75,000 detections of WanaCrypt0r 2.0 in 99 countries.

While the ransomware attack is mainly targeted to Russia, Taiwan, and Ukrain, the attack is showing its impact all around the world. Below is a map that shows the countries being targeted by WanaCrypt0r 2.0:
Today, WanaCrypt0r is available in 28 different languages, ranging from Bulgarian to Vietnamese. This malware is spreading by exploiting a vulnerability called EternalBlue.
This scam, most probably, has spread using a wave of phishing emails with malicious attachments that infect computers when users click on them. The official government recommendation is not to pay criminals behind such attacks.
