This video documents what the Wannacry ransomware virus did to companies and individuals throughout the world in the summer of 2017. This video outlines how the US’s own National Security Agency was hacked by the Shadow Brokers hacking group who stole their hacking utilities and sold them on the black market to hackers. The result was a particular bad vulnerability called Eternal Blue which was turned into the WannaCry ransomware attacks.  This video ends with suggestions on how to avoid being infected with any Ransomware or malware including WannaCry and encourages people to backup their critical data so they can “reformat and restore” in a situation like a WannaCry infection.
