Tens
of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus
called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a
payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled
files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health
organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services
as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more
than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that
the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.
