In our second episode, we are talking about one of the most notable
ransomware attacks in history, hitting 200.000 computers across 150
countries and around 8 billion dollars in damages, to be precise.
We are talking about Wannacry. The self-propagating code is famous
in the cyber world because it showed that if you start something on
the worldwide Internet, it will affect everybody. WannaCry is the
reason we learned to keep our systems updated and have backups.
Rüdiger Peusquens, Head of Cyber Defense at Deutsche Telekom
Security, talks about how WannaCry works, what made it so special
and how you can protect yourself. You want to hear more? Check out
