RANSOMWARE

From the text I read about Ransomware Microsoft is angry with the American National Security Agency (NSA). Ransomware is a malicious software that blocks access to computers until the owner pays the hacker money. The NSA is a military intelligence organization. It said hackers could steal them and it's just as dangerous as stealing missiles. Microsoft President said: "This attack provides another example of why [the government keeps these things] ... is a problem." The European police agency said WannaCry has affected 200,000 computers in 150 countries. This makes a lot of trouble for the UK National Health Service. Many operations were canceled. Experts warn people to back up their files as more attacks can occur.
