Beware!! Ransomware attacks again!!

The world was yet to come out of the wannacry nightmare & a new Ransomware variant attack today has shocked everyone by putting several businesses to hold by locking their computers across the globe.

Operations at one of the three terminals of Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai, India's largest container port, were disrupted.

Was terrorism not enough to fight with, that a new "Ransomware threat" is gaining its foot in the cyber world. Days are not far away when every country would have to maintain a Cyber army along with a regular army.

My concern is where are we (mankind) heading towards? A better tomorrow...

Personal Experience : Using a non updated windows version ( win 7 ) without any anti virus since 2011 .. not saying it's the safest practice but never been a victim of a hack attack so far be it online shopping or bank transaction ( and used some repack games as well ) - my isp is also local cable wallah - so reading about so many malware attacks it's the Human who is the weakest link here.

Working in the Cyber Security industry, I can assure you Social Engineering, Human Factor is the biggest vulnerable space and most fall for it.
Be it a poorly configured security system or a ignorant/non cautious user.
