In March, Microsoft patched the vulnerability that the ransomware exploits &#8212; but only for newer Windows systems. That\u2019s left older Windows machines, or those users who failed to patch newer machines, vulnerable to Friday\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers originally believed the ransomware was spread through attachments in email phishing campaigns. That no longer appears to be the case.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10928\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WannaCry-Ransomware-attack.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WannaCry-Ransomware-attack.png 400w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WannaCry-Ransomware-attack-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Infection attempts from the WannaCry ransomware.<\/h6>\n<p>Once a vulnerable PC becomes infected, the computer will attempt to spread to other machines over the local network as well as over the internet.

They can also use a firewall to block unrecognized internet traffic from accessing the networking ports the Server Message Block uses.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Friday\u2019s ransomware attack may have been contained. A security researcher who goes by the name MalwareTech has activated a sort of kill-switch in WannaCry that stops it from spreading.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, over 100,000 new infections were prevented, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/blog-post\/finding-kill-switch-stop-spread-ransomware-0\">according<\/a> to U.K.\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre. But experts also warn that WannaCry\u2019s developers may be working on other versions that won\u2019t be easy to disable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s very important everyone understands that all they (the hackers) need to do is change some code and start again. Patch your systems now!\u201d MalwareTech tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the kill-switch\u2019s activation will provide no relief to existing victims. The ransomware will persist on systems already infected.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s ransomware attack appears to have spread mainly in Europe and Asia, with Russia among those nations hardest hit, according to security researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Security experts are advising victims to wait before paying the ransom. It&#8217;s possible that researchers will develop a free solution that can remove the infection.<\/p>\n<h4>Have questions?<\/h4>\n<p>Get answers\u00a0from\u00a0Microsofts Cloud Solutions Partner!<br \/>\nCall us at:\u00a0856-745-9990 or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"South Jersey Techies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Jersey Techies, LL C<\/a>\u00a0is a full\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies Managed Services\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Managed Web and Technology Services Company<\/a>\u00a0providing\u00a0IT Services,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Web Design\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/website_design.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Design Services<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Server Support\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/server_install.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Server Support<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Network Consulting\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/network_consulting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Network Consulting<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Internet Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/voip.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet Phones<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Cloud Solutions Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/cloud.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cloud Solutions Provider<\/a>\u00a0and much more.<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Contact for More<\/a>\u00a0Information.<\/p>\n<p>To read this article in its entirety\u00a0click here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a rare step, Microsoft published a patch for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 8 Users of old Windows systems can now download a patch to protect them from this week\u2019s massive ransomware attack.
