🦠 What the HECK is MALWARE? 👇🏽

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 don’t need to be a hospital to get infected.
You just need WiFi.

💥 Malware = malicious software
It spies, steals, locks or destroys.
Types include:
🔹 Virus – spreads through files
🔹 Worm – spreads on its own
🔹 Spyware – watches you
🔹 Trojan – looks legit but isn’t
🔹 Ransomware – holds your files hostage

🚨 How it gets in:
📩 Phishing emails
📥 Fake apps + downloads
🔌 USBs you shouldn’t trust

⚠️ Signs you’re infected:
🔥 Phone heating up
📱 Random pop-ups
🔋 Battery dies fast
💻 Fans blasting while idle

✅ Protect yourself:
• Update your software
• Use antivirus
• Avoid weird links + USBs
• Turn on 2FA
• BACK. IT. UP.

Malware took down hospitals.
Awareness = your best defence.
