WannaCry malware hit the news in 2017 when reports of the damaging attack spread through more than 150 countries. The National Health Service in the UK, and FedEx where two of the worst hit organizations, but countless others, including small business, schools, and nonprofits were hit by this fast-spreading malware.
Now two years later, this poorly written malware continues to infect systems. How? Because so many systems are left unpatched and remain vulnerable. In fact, Malwarebytes published a study that found almost 5 million detections of WannaCry after the major 2017 outbreak!
