‘Accidental hero’ halts ransomware attack and warns: this is not over
I read his blog last night, and he said they can just take the kill switch out, and use it that way. That may be what is happening today.
People just need to keep their updates current and not click on any file or link that you aren’t 100% sure of. I’ve been getting lots of spam emails from banks claiming my account has been blocked the last couple of days, but it stopped today. It makes me wonder if that may have been related. More like a phishing scheme.
Keeping all your files backed up is another good safeguard, but they can still slow down a business considerably.
It has, but a mediocre coder can change the source code and re-release in literally minutes. It just slowed the spread a bit. Everything out there is not spreading, but I guarantee a new version without the kill switch has been released by now.
It is literally e-Ebola.
