I am trying to make this post quick and brief. A Massive Ransomware attack is underway. So far 99 countries have been hit. Mostly in the western part of the world. If you have a Windows computer you need to update with security patch issued in March. You should be ok if you have your Windows set to automatic updates. The ransomware is called Wanna Cry and uses an exploit found by NSA and published in March by a group called the Shadow Brokers. It can spread wirelessly and on internal networks.
