    Russian first hacking and then release of a new variant of Wannacry MS SMB ransomware first against Ukraine is now bleeding into the rest of Europe....


    This ransomware did not insert itself in the usual manner of having the end user clink of the wrong link and or via phishing..this was inserted in the hacked network and then worked its way to a pc...evidently the Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky knows nothing of the variant which is unusual as they seem to know what is floating out in the dark net from Russian developers....

    Major ransomware virus hits computer servers across Europe:

    PM @Groysman called the attack "unprecedented" but added that "vital systems haven't been affected" - AFP
