Wannacry - Ransomware - Decryption tool available
As it appears this thing is only going to go from bad to worse as it morphs from one version to the next
Decryption tool for the first version created - useful backup for windows 7 users having issues with getting MS updates to work https://www.askwoody.com/2017/breaki...low-the-rules/ Advice for Windows 7/8/10 (even though the ransomware was primarily aimed at Windows 7) Why and how to disable SMB1 on Windows 10/8/7 RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and improve system performance Though security concerns with systems are nowhere new, the mess caused by the Wannacrypt ransomware has prompted for immediate action among netizens. The Ransomware targets the vulnerabilities of the SMB service of the Windows operating system to propagate. SMB or Server Message Block is a network file sharing protocol meant for sharing files, printers, etc, between computers. There are three versions – Server Message Block (SMB) version 1 (SMBv1), SMB version 2 (SMBv2), and SMB version 3 (SMBv3). Microsoft recommends that you disable SMB1 for security reason – and it is not more important to do so in view of the WannaCrypt or WannaCry ransomware epidemic. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-smb1-windows Last edited by buttsie; May 19th, 2017 at 11:37 PM..

Free Vaccinator & Vulnerability Scanner Tools for WannaCry Ransomware
Although the WannaCry Ransomware epidemic may have been currently halted in its tracks currently, you may expect the next wave to be more virulent.
In our post on WannaCry Ransomware, we have listed the ways you can protect yourself from being infected with this Ransomware – the most important one being the installation of the patches released by Microsoft for all Windows versions. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/free-v...cry-ransomware Related Posts:Links to other articles about similar topics List of free Ransomware Decryptor Tools to unlock files Ransomware Attacks, Definition, Examples, Protection, Removal, FAQ Malware Removal Guide & Tools for Beginners How to protect against and prevent Ransomware attacks & infections WannaCrypt or WannaCry Ransomware Decryptors are available Personally i think its more about being pragmatic & using common sense keep everything on your PC up to date Never click on a link from an untrusted source - for new friends that you know little about - i'd be opening in a sandbox - that newly arrived energy bill - never assume its real before you click - where did it come from - bogus emails are the number 1 cause of ransomware. I had a survey from my energy supplier sent to me recently which has always been multiple choice questions no video - this wanted me watching video - i deleted it immediately http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...y-concerns.htm Links in skype , PMs , IM etc can do exactly the same - those friends who befriended you when you'd had no contact on the forum? Windows updates is a no brainer but what about all other software? Personal software inspector (PSI - security updates) and 3 others that go further None are perfect but its better than doing nothing imho http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...te-monitor.htm If you want the full gambit on browsers via the main rendering engines How to Harden Your Browser Against Malware and Privacy Concerns - 2015 http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...y-concerns.htm In my experience about the only truly effective deterrent to malware if you go here there and everywhere is a script blocker & keeping everything up to date Avoid keeping plugins up to date and.... Its amazing to watch how ineffective a script blocker is if you have a vulnerable plugin in your browser...you might as well not be using the script blocker PS forget this little issue If your security suite insists on adding an extension to your browser 3rd party browser - say no Chrome and a security suite extension awhile back showed the extension actually made the browser vulnerable to attack.

And of course we all make regular backups, right? Of course, most of us don't make regular backups, even those of us who know better. So, I'll make 3 suggestions:
1. Backup your data. Twice! because backups and the media on which it is stored can fail. Do this regularly 2. Encrypt the backups if they contain sensitive and/or personal data. 3. Image your pc. Do this regularly. If you don't know how to image your pc, learn. You will never regret the time and trouble you spent to learn. Remember: "Paranoia is your best friend when it comes to your data."--Me. :-p |
