๐ฆ What the HECK is MALWARE? ๐๐ฝ
May 12, 2017, UK hospitals went dark.
No records. Cancelled surgeries.
The reason? WannaCry ransomware.
Over 200,000 systems hit in one day.
And guess what?
You donโt need to be a hospital to get infected.
You just need WiFi.
๐ฅ Malware = malicious software
It spies, steals, locks or destroys.
Types include:
๐น Virus โ spreads through files
๐น Worm โ spreads on its own
๐น Spyware โ watches you
๐น Trojan โ looks legit but isnโt
๐น Ransomware โ holds your files hostage
๐จ How it gets in:
๐ฉ Phishing emails
๐ฅ Fake apps + downloads
๐ USBs you shouldnโt trust
โ ๏ธ Signs youโre infected:
๐ฅ Phone heating up
๐ฑ Random pop-ups
๐ Battery dies fast
๐ป Fans blasting while idle
โ
Protect yourself:
โข Update your software
โข Use antivirus
โข Avoid weird links + USBs
โข Turn on 2FA
โข BACK. IT. UP.
Malware took down hospitals.
Awareness = your best defence.
