In Wanna. Cry's Wake, a New Rapidly Spreading Ransomware Attack Appeared Today. A week after Wanna. Nick Salloum mimics Dropbox and Gmail, building a functioning custom context menu (right-click menu) from scratch with JavaScript. Cry induced worldwide panic, another vicious ransomware attack is currently underway.

Team, a group instrumental last week in alerting us to the Wanna. Cry threat. The researcher, who did not wish to be identified by name, said that in Ukraine XData already has an infection rate three times that of Wanna. Cry.
