WannaCrypt is a ransomware attack that is targeting devices that are running Microsoft Windows with out of date security definitions by encrypting data and demanding ransom payments.

The attack started on Friday, 12 May 2017 spreading across local networks and the Internet.

Within four days of the initial outbreak, security experts were saying that most organizations had applied updates and that new infections had slowed to a trickle.

Meltdown and Spectre are a set of security vulnerabilities that affect modern computer processors.

The vulnerabilities of both exploits could allow an attacker to obtain access to sensitive information on devices with the affected processors.
