There is a solution to the WannaCry ransomware or at least, so that it does not infect our computer, which has been baptized by the National Cryptological Center as NoMoreCry.
The expansion of the WannaCry ransomware collapsed the timeline of many on Monday, with constant information and practically every second. Well, this ransomware was stopped by a 'kill-switch' that bounced off a non-existent website, thereby continuing to attack. MalwareTechBlog registered the site for $ 10 and the threat was ended, as WannaCry registered that the site was active and therefore did not attack. Weight the thing could change today with an update of this ransomware without this 'kill-switch'.
This ransomware is downloaded and installed when we access a certain page or pages, through a link, which was given by sending massive spam and which started the attack. This ransomware is characterized by infecting systems on the local network or what is the same, it is enough that only one user accesses the link that downloads this malware and this one, without the active 'kill-switch', spreads through the local network, infecting all computers. This takes a while, it is not instantaneous, since those who are closest to the source team are the first affected. Let's say it does a ripple effect.
Thanks to the National Cryptological Center, located in Madrid, it has been announced that there is a solution, called NoMoreCry. This is a padlock, a blocking system, based on a script that blocks the execution of WannaCry on the computer and thus prevents the encryption of personal files. The CCN has made a complete report on the matter and explains the recommendations to avoid being infected. NoMoreCry is a last resort solution or complementary to other solutions. NoMoreCry is not used to decrypt already encrypted files or clean the infected system, it is simply for preventive use. In addition, this does not have permanence in the equipment or what is the same, when we turn off the equipment, it 'disconnects' and when it starts, we must go and tell it to run.
TEN EUROS AND A LEVER END WITH THE RANSOMWARE WANNACRY
NoMoreCry is compatible with operating systems from Windows 2000 onwards. WannaCry has shown that there are many computers running Windows 2000 onwards and that they are a very serious risk to the networks to which they are connected.
