As soon as you turn on the computer, you may face a $300 “ransomâ€, although security experts strongly emphasize not to pay ransom, but this will mean that all important data in the computer is lost.
At this time, paying or not paying will become a problem. All security companies predict that the peak of the extortion worm will be ushered in, especially for government and enterprise users, although it has developed into the largest ransomware attack in history.
For this outbreak of virus attacks, it is difficult for security experts to give much damage, because the virus variants continue and the scope is still expanding.
Cheetah mobile security expert Li Tiejun said that ransomware is the most popular malware in the past two years, both on the PC side and on the mobile phone. At present, there is relatively little blackmail for encrypting user data on the mobile terminal. However, from the 360 ​​forecast, there will be a large-scale ransomware incident in the future, which will affect billions of smartphones.
It is not only the campus network that is affected by the virus, but also some enterprises and institutions.
According to the staff of a China Unicom Zhengzhou branch, on May 14th, due to the impact of the Bitcoin ransomware, the unit computers were all paralyzed.
On May 13, the Exit and Entry Office of Xiangshui Public Security Bureau issued a message saying that due to the new virus attack by the public security network, the entry and exit business was temporarily suspended, and the specific recovery time was awaiting notification.
"Getting a night, the data has not recovered." Yesterday, a policeman in Shandong said that under the influence of the ransomware, the computer that stores data in the unit was locked, and he eventually could only do nothing to learn computer science.
Some PetroChina gas stations are affectedAlso affected are PetroChina gas stations. PetroChina issued a notice in its official website saying that at around 22:30 on May 12, due to the global bitcoin extortion virus outbreak, the normal operation of some gas stations belonging to the company was affected. The virus caused the network payment functions such as gas station fuel card, bank card, and third-party payment to be unavailable. However, the basic business such as refueling and sales is operating normally, and the security of the fuel card account is not affected.
The staff of PetroChina’s Shouqi 12 gas station said that since the 13th, due to the impact of the new virus, various payment methods such as mobile payment and fuel card payment at the gas station have been affected, although emergency repairs have been carried out in the morning. There is still a situation of network instability. The staff of the PetroChina Guomen gas station said that as of 4 pm, the Guomen gas station still only accepts cash payment or the fuel card of the Guomen gas station to pay the fee.
PetroChina said yesterday afternoon that it began to implement recovery work on a site-by-site basis based on field-proven technical solutions. More than 80% of gas stations have resumed network connections, and gas stations infected with viruses are gradually recovering fuel cards, bank cards, and third-party payment functions.
The staff of the PetroChina Great Lakes Southwest, the PetroChina Dongpeng Gas Station, and the PetroChina Jingshun Gas Station told the Beiqing Daily that they had resumed the functions of mobile payment and fuel card payment before noon.
New variants of ransomwareBritish network engineers and some cybersecurity experts who accidentally blocked the ransom virus have said that they are only temporarily blocking the further attack and spread of the ransom virus, but they can't help those users who have already attacked the ransomware.
They speculate that the new version of the ransomware is likely to come back without this "suicide switch." This speculation really became a reality soon.
Yesterday, the National Network and Information Security Information Center urgently notified: The monitoring found that there was a variant of the WannaCry ransomware that broke out in the world: WannaCry 2.0. Unlike the previous version, this variant cannot be closed by registering a domain name. The spread of the virus, the variant may spread faster. As an engineer, what do you think?
