Action Required on WanaCry Virus Remedy

15-May-2017

Dear All,

As you may already heard, a ransomware variant known as WanaCry is being spread on a massive scale around the world.

Once a computer is infected it will attempt to infect other machines on the same network using a recently patched Windows vulnerability. After successful infiltration, this malware encrypts files on victims' computers and demands ransom payments of 2.2 Bitcoin to decrypt them.

Although Library&Information Center have blocked port 445 on campus network’s edge firewall, but below action are still recommended from user side:

  • Please patch your Windows machine up to date as soon as possible, Microsoft has already released patch MS17-010 to fix the vulnerability.

  • Please deny inbound traffic on port 445 on your local machine’s firewall setting until it is patched up to date

  • Please  backup all your local data timely.

 

Please feel free to contact ITS if you need any help. Thank you .
