I’m sure you’re all aware of the ransomware attack that occurred over the weekend, affecting organisations all over the country, including the NHS, and thousands of businesses across Europe.

This particular attack was enabled by an NSA-built piece of malware, that is particularly aggressive in its infection method, and looking past the usual media hype, you really should be concerned about it.

If you have any questions about this attack, or ransomware in general, please get in touch!
