Friday 12 May 2017. Perhaps the largest and most severe ransomware attack is a fact.
The attack was carried out with the malware type "Crypto- Malware", which can affect all versions of operating systems and is spread mainly through emails. The malware encrypts digital files and data on computers, which are released after payment of money as a "ransom".
The attacks started in Britain, but quickly the ransomware malware spread across the globe, infecting files, and cannot be treated unless the "e-patient" pays a sum of money in bitcoin.
Which systems were affected? All previous versions of Windows 10 and those not upgraded with the MS-17-010 security update.
The website that served the purposes of the ransomware was the
www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com. The domain in question has already been closed down.
So far 99 countries have been infected and over 100,000 attacks have been recorded, with the majority occurring in Russia, Ukraine and Taiwan, while several incidents have also been reported in Europe.
Greece, and specifically the e-government centre of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, fell victim to the hackers, but thanks to the immediate intervention of the competent authorities, the spread of the phenomenon was prevented.
From our investigations, the virus has infected a large number of government infrastructures and very large private companies.

The malware "WannaCry", which is one of the digital threats of the "Crypto-Malware" type and can affect all operating system versions, has made its appearance in Greece, with the Directorate of Cybercrime of the Hellenic Police noting in a statement that the malware infects computers in two main ways: Through infected emails containing malicious attachments and through insecure or infected websites.
In particular, as regards infected files, these are usually .docx and .pdf files, which have malicious macros embedded in them, which are executed when they are opened and install the malware on the PC.
The virus infects almost all types of files that we may have on our personal and corporate computers and these are:
.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .pst, .ost, .msg, .eml, .vsd, .vsdx, .txt, .csv, .rtf, .123, .wks, .wk1, .pdf, .dwg, .onetoc2, .snt, .jpeg, .jpg, .docb, .docm, .dot, .dotm, .dotx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xlw, .xlt, .xlm, .xlc, .xltx, .xltm, .pptm, .pot, .pps, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppam, .potx, .potm, .edb, .hwp, .602, .sxi, .sti, .sldx, .sldm, .sldm, .vdi, .vmdk, .vmx, .gpg, .aes, .ARC, .PAQ, .bz2, .tbk, .bak, .tar, .tgz, .gz, .7z, .rar, .zip, .backup, .iso, .vcd, .bmp, .png, .gif, .raw, .cgm, .tif, .tiff, .nef, .psd, .ai, .svg, .djvu, .m4u, .m3u, .mid, .wma, .flv, .3g2, .mkv, .3gp, .mp4, .mov, .avi, .asf, .mpeg, .vob, .mpg, .wmv, .fla, .swf, .wav, .mp3, .sh, .class, .jar, .java, .rb, .asp, .php, .jsp, .brd, .sch, .dch, .dip, .pl, .vb, .vbs, .ps1, .bat, .cmd, .js, .asm, .h, .pas, .cpp, .c, .cs, .suo, .sln, .ldf, .mdf, .ibd, .myi, .myd, .frm, .odb, .dbf, .db, .mdb, .accdb, .sql, .sqlitedb, .sqlite3, .asc, .lay6, .lay, .mml, .sxm, .otg, .odg, .uop, .std, .sxd, .otp, .odp, .wb2, .slk, .dif, .stc, .sxc, .ots, .ods, .3dm, .max, .3ds, .uot, .stw, .sxw, .ott, .odt, .pem, .p12, .csr, .crt, .key, .pfx, .der.
The virus infects almost all types of files that we may have on our personal and corporate computers and these are:
In addition, this malware has the ability to propagate itself over the local network and encrypt the files of any system it accesses. This capability makes it extremely dangerous in corporate networks where propagation can be rapid.
The malware has been circulating since 12-05-2017 and has so far infected more than 125,000 computers worldwide.
