Prevent wannacry

Good afternoon

i have an question

Right now, we're under risk of wannacry ransomware

i still haven't update to the lastest windows and i can't update if there's no internet

in indonesia, the government told us to not use lan/wlan on pc

so, in order to protect my pc i still need to update.

can i use my cellular data to be internet connection (personal hotspot) on my pc? is that safe?

thank you ^^

Whether lan/wlan or from your cell you still get on the Internet,  Is your cell company knowledgeable about wannacry and have their protection active?

What build are you using?

Here is Microsoft's Customer Guidance on the Ransomware Attack:

  • In March, we released a security update which addresses the vulnerability that these attacks are exploiting. Those who have Windows Update enabled are protected against attacks on this vulnerability. For those organizations who have not yet applied the security update, we suggest you immediately deploy Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.

  • For customers using Windows Defender, we released an update earlier today which detects this threat as Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt. As an additional “defense-in-depth” measure, keep up-to-date anti-malware software installed on your machines. Customers running anti-malware software from any number of security companies can confirm with their provider, that they are protected.

  • This attack type may evolve over time, so any additional defense-in-depth strategies will provide additional protections. (For example, to further protect against SMBv1 attacks, customers should consider blocking legacy protocols on their networks).
