How to Prevent Yourself from Ransomware

Quick TIP to stop #WannaCry for all Windows Users (even if you have installed updates, just disable SMB)

Update — If you are thinking that activating the kill-switch has completely stopped the WannaCry Ransomware, then you are mistaken. WannaCry 2.0 version has just arrived without any ‘kill-switch’ function. Get prepared for the next massive wave of ransomware attacks.

Microsoft has just released an emergency security patch update for all its unsupported version of Windows, including Windows XP, Vista, Windows 8, Server 2003 and 2008 Editions.

So, if your organization, for some reason, is still running on Windows XP or Vista, you are strongly advised to download and APPLY PATCH NOW!
