The world hacker attack
15
May
It is already the biggest worldwide attack, the numbers counted until 
Sunday (14/05) already surpassed 200,000 infected computers in 150 countries, but like any digital virus there is no deadline for it to end unless the systems are permanently protected, because of this the update is so necessary.
The virus type ransonware, a malware that installs itself on your computer, encrypts all data and blocks them by requiring payment (in this case in bitcoins, digital currency) and does not allow you to access your own programs and data.
It was called by the Wanna Cry hackers themselves, considered a high-level malware distributed as Deep Web, and the information says that it was an adaptation of a US NCSA portlet (intelligence department) and this would be precisely to encrypt and capture data of citizens and businesses.
For those who have ease in using the Windows environment, going in settings you will find the Update and Security screen (Windows update) and must wait for the update that may take a while, but will also update Windows Defender, which in the current version already has the vaccine against this virus.
If the program does not fully upgrade, it is because your Windows is not original, so it means you will still not be safe.
However, researchers are not going to disclose the strategies, but they can basically be three: trace the historical origin of the attack, track where the current attacks are coming from, and unconventional mechanisms.
To verify the use of bitcoins, since they are pseudonyms (pseudo-currencies) that must be transformed into existing products or currencies to be rescued the values of the hijacking of data made by the hackers.
It is increasingly important to keep data backups on cloud backups or an external hard drive.
