k2s Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 WannaCry Puts These 3 Cybersecurity Stocks in the Spotlight WannaCry reveals how vulnerable organizations are to cyberattacks. These three companies can protect from future disasters. The WannaCry ransomware attack recently hit computers in 150 countries, locking up computers from over 10,000 organizations and 200,000 individuals. The attack -- which targets Windows XP and other Windows versions that weren't updated with the latest security updates -- encrypts a user's hard drive and demands a ransom payment of $300 in bitcoin to decrypt the data. The rapid spread of the attack highlighted two serious flaws with how organizations handle cyber threats. First, many organizations still use Windows XP, presumably to avoid the headaches and expenses of upgrading, even though Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) officially stopped supporting the OS with security updates three years ago. Second, organizations which were hit by ransomware attacks continue paying the attackers to get their data back -- which likely encourages future attacks. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/05/18/wannacry-puts-these-3-cybersecurity-stocks-in-the.aspx?yptr=yahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
