Thanks itman. The link you share really help me so to more understood about this ransomware

Thanks for your information itman . Yes, protection is needed for this attack but how to detect the first offender of this ransomware attack?

Yes, I agree. But, the issue of security also leads to health data privacy and security act in health information.

Thanks for your time peteyt . As I mentioned above, the issues on Wanny Cry happen at UK hospital that leads to an operation being cancelled, ambulance being diverted and documents such as patient records made unavailable to access and have been stolen. So, I agree your point that every company should have expertise in IT and do backup plan.

Healthcare industry was likely to be next frontier for major cyber attacks. A Wanna Cry attack is one of a ransomware that could cause serious damage to the companies. Companies without backup indeed lost data due to the asymmetric encryption usage. My questions, what are the basic measure that companies should execute to have a better chance at staying safe? And why this attack was so devastating to companies?
