Effective solution to the WannaCry hacker attack with WatchGuard APT Blocker

WCry, WannaCry and WanaCrypt0 were the protagonists of the last weekend. Uncovered names that have created a global hacker attack through a ransomware, a type of malware that restricts access to the infected device, requiring a ransom to be paid to remove the imposed limitation.

The computer attack has already infected 200,000 computers between companies and large corporations in around 150 countries, but that result could increase considerably when thousands of other machines are restarted today after the weekend break. The alert also remains high in Italy both among public facilities, particularly hospitals and transport, and between companies.

In fact, this is just the latest Ransomware, but with a global visibility as it has hit very important realities, especially in Britain and Russia and that you could unfortunately grow fast even in other countries, including Italy.

But there is a good one, indeed a good news! The WATCHGUARD APT Blocker service we selected and offered to our customers, available for all hardware and virtual platforms, identified the attack and quickly blocked it in its latest https://goo.gl/zvWYaZ  .

In fact, Wannacry uses a Microsoft-corrected bug from Microsoft a few months ago, but unfortunately not installed in the meantime. The protection of APT Blocker is total and also assured .
