Tonight I heard about the new computer virus called Ransomware. It is a serious computer virus and it spreads all over the world. And in UK the operation has to be delayed due to the attack of Ransomware. The hackers need the ransom but it is still doubtful whether you can get your data back even if you pay for it. In brief, we have to be very careful these days.

I was once attacked by this virus. I can't open anything on my computer. What appeared on the screen was that my computer had been locked. I just reformat my hard disk and it went away. I don't have anything important and all my important data had been saved in an external hard disk. So reformatting wasn't a problem for me.

You are lucky since you don't have anything important in your computer.

These hackers are so smart. Unfortunately they use their intelligence in a wrong way.

I just wonder where they come from. It seems a team of hackers are at work. I doubt they can get more cash in this way. They are better off stealing the credit card number if they want to make money.

I think in the past I also tried to get this computer virus. I remember when I found a anti-virus software online, then it didn't work at all.
