WannaCry is still alive, attacked 1,64,433 users in 2019

May 12 marks three years of WannaCry, the largest ransomware epidemic in history. And since, WannaCry and other ransomware threats are still affecting people and companies.

A recent Kaspersky research has revealed that in 2019, WannaCry kept its position at the top of the most prevalent ransomware families, while almost a third (30%) of those targeted by ransomware were corporate users.

Both Kaspersky and Interpol have urged organisations to think about backing up their data and adopting relevant protection so that they can avoid any potential ransomware siege and a catastrophe similar to WannaCry can be avoided.
