ORIGINAL (5/12/17, 11:00pm EST) According to CNN, a worldwide ransomware attack named "WannaCry" is occurring across 99 nations in just 11 hours using an exploit “EternalBlue” targeting Microsoft Windows that was patched in March and leaked from the NSA. The ransomware, “WannaCry”, is infecting computers and raises the ante every six hours of non-compliance with payment terms. The initial cost is just $300 but quickly escalates if firms ignore the ransom. As of this posting, the United Kingdom has had sixteen National Health Service organizations infected and hospitals have been canceling non-critical appointments in order to deal with threat. In total 45,000 systems. Spanish Telefonica has been hit by the weaponized worm-able ransomware as well making it one of the largest company experiencing the current threat. While the cyber-attack is primarily in Europe and Asia (Russia allegedly being hit the hardest), it is just a matter of time before the threat propagates to the United States and infects other Windows systems on the internet that are not patched. In order for organizations to protect themselves, make sure your Windows assets are patched for MS17-010. If you still have Windows XP, there is no patch or permanent mitigation strategy since this operating system is end of life. Some security tools may help but the risk will never be truly remediated. It is one of the primary reasons organizations need to remove and update these assets. The security update will stop the infection but not remediate the risk if you have already been compromised.
