The world-wide Internet virus WCry (WannaCrypt0r) continues to improve and circumvent the protection of thousands of PCs.

Earlier on the Web, there was information about the vulnerability of the virus, which could stop its spread.

He applied to the domain address iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea. Com. In case of successful connection with the address, the virus stopped its activity. After some time, the domain in the code was replaced.

Today it became known that the creators of WCry again updated the malware and it no longer requires confirmation of the creation of a "left" site. Thus, the infection of computers will continue.

The head of the EU police, Rob Wainwright, warned:.

We have never seen anything like this. May 15, with the beginning of a new work week, a new surge of infection of computers with the virus WannaCrypt0r.



Some experts, including Edward Snowden, are sure that the extortion virus is distributed through NSA tools. Also there is an opinion that this is an international group of hackers, among which there are Russian.

The treatment is simple - install the latest security patch from Microsoft. Also recommend to close port 445.

Given that hackers are also aware of the closure of the "hole", you should expect another upgrade with the use of other vulnerabilities, according to IS specialists.
