Cyber-security professionals are gearing up for a new computer virus attack
Cybersecurity professionals are preparing to ward of a new kind of cyber attack
The technique that hackers are using today to disseminate wannacry worm was originally developed by the US National Security Agency.
The wannacry computer virus attack that was witnessed over the weekend was developed by NSA and was never actually meant to be released to the public but several reports are indicating that it was stolen after it was leaked from the NSA by a group known as the Shadow Brokers.
Microsoft has warned businesses and organizations to stop using Windows XP which now does not receive any support from the company if they wish to defend against this new virus obtained by cyber criminals
