Last Friday 12 of May, a mysterious virtual virus was released and infected more than 200.000 computer users over 150 countries around the world, including machines from big companies like Telefonica and others... The virus main function is to block the computer kidnapping it and sending messages to the user telling him to pay over 300$ in order to save his computer.
This kind of virus should be easy to control, but what's different with this one is that the virus creates copies of itself and spread them across the network, infecting thousands of different users every time it reach one computer. To infect the computers, this malware takes advantage of a Microsoft Windows vulnerability, but this corporation noticed it and had been working to patch all the computers that could be infected.
Nobody know what are the origins of this virus neither who created him, specialized teams still investigating about this issue.
I think that it is not normal to be attacked worldwide by an unknown virus without knowing anything about it... We're in the XXI century and a group of hackers can still outwit the system kidnapping millions of computers, this is completely unbelievable. Or this is what it looks like at least ... Maybe I'm the only one, but this all story looks really suspicious to me. In theory, the best computer engineers are supposed to be working in the government or in big corporations, like the ones that the virus attacked, but it looks like nobody did nothing... As I said before, nobody knows anything, they don't have even the smallest information from a worldwide attack, but they got the solution ready in just a couple of days. I'm sure that all the users who paid the amount of money sent that to someone, but why does nobody follow there the money goes? I'm not the kind of guy who's always thinking in governments conspirations and that kind of stuff, but in this case ...
