Abstract
On May 12, 2017, the WannaCry ransomware bug struck. The cyberattack infected more than 300,000 computer systems in 150 countries, including several U.K. National Health Service facilities. 1 The ransomware affected unpatched Windows systems, encrypting data and demanding payment to release it. A patch was available, and if it had been applied to these systems, they would not have been affected.
