One of my clients machines got hit by a malicious encryptor 'Wana DecryptOr 2.0 Anyone aware of or know a program to unlock these files?
This is what's hitting the NHS in the UK today, I gather.
Is this any good to you?

I'm with the NHS too. In the health board I work in, nothing is actually stored on the PC, its deployed from the server. I would personally let them go fuck themselves and redeploy the OS from the server.I work for the NHS and this has affected our entire region, so much so that our hospital is turning away patients from our A+E department, not entirely sure if its specifically targeted the NHS but it seems like a pretty scummy form of ransomware, people involved with get serious jail time when caught though.
The thing that bamboozles me is that IT in the NHS is so resistant to upgrading their OS. Whilst I can appreciate first hand that a Windows update can bugger up some programs at work, it's a damn sight easier to fix a gubbed program than it is to deal with these tadgers. The PCs in my lab got updated last week and it broke a program we use daily but thankfully it was fixed pretty much right away (it was a pretty simple Access database fix).Yeah seen the NHS is getting hit all over with this today, which I found surprising given how low the ransom is. But it seems it's not just the NHS, this thing has gone viral now

I just got this as an alert from the Business Insider app. Looks like this thing going big.
I guess it's time to allow those Windows Updates you have been delaying for the last several months.

The thing is though, there was no internal announcement about this, but they're always sending newsletters via the internal email system about how great they are.
