New Cyberattack Spreading...Petya.

(Picture is a black box I made for something else but is useful here because this is what you'll end up with if you aren't careful out there.)

I'm no expert on how cyberattacks occur but I would hope anybody here would know the steps to take to prevent it. Maybe others can give more information, I'm just here to let you know that another attack like "Wannacry" is happening again.

The Independent posted a story about it and I thought I'd share...http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/hack-cyber-attack-ukraine-russia-wannacry-petya-security-internet-broken-computer-not-working-a7810626.html

There are a few steps I know to take and always do.

1. Backup all data you want to save on an external harddrive or SD card.
2. Update your virus and malware scanners.
3. Never open suspicious emails and be aware of what emails from your bank and other financial institutions looks like.
4. Don't visit sites that can give you viruses.
5. Always be aware of the fact that attacks can happen and take preventative measures.

I mainly just wanted to spread the word, and give a few tips there. Keep an eye out for yourself and others!
