What is the WannaCry ransomware, how does it spread, and what makes it so dangerous?
WannaCry ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files on a computer system. It spreads through various methods, including exploiting vulnerabilities in outdated operating systems like Windows. WannaCry is dangerous because it can rapidly spread across networks, encrypting files on multiple computers. It demands ransom payments in exchange for unlocking the encrypted files, causing financial and operational disruptions for individuals and organizations.
